In a world increasingly divided by technology and social media, “Us” takes a profound journey into the lives of two estranged sisters, Emma and Nora, who reunite after a decade apart. Emma is a successful digital influencer, thriving in her carefully curated online world, where likes and followers dictate reality. Nora, on the other hand, leads a more grounded life, managing a small bookstore in their hometown and dedicated to preserving the art of genuine connection. When their estranged mother passes away, the sisters are thrown together for the first time in years to navigate the complexities of family ties, shared history, and unspoken grievances.

As they clean out their childhood home, buried secrets come to light, leading to raw and emotional confrontations.
