"On the set of the film Little Orphans, something remarkable is happening. 

All the action behind, and in front of, the camera is being driven by women; a woman director, a woman cinematographer, three women stars, women producers and a woman writer/creator. In an industry still dominated by men, both in Canada and abroad, that level of female representation is unusual. Emily Bridger, the film's writer and star, says it wasn't by design, just a happy unintentional thing. She said, it's a super-special thing to see. It's really rare, but it's nice to live here in Newfoundland, where it's so supportive of female filmmakers." - CBC

The wedding of their youngest sister, Janet, brings Gwen and Kay home to St. John’s, Newfoundland. While Janet struggles to hide her family’s dysfunction, Kay can’t help but create chaos wherever she goes and Gwen finds herself paralyzed by a past secret. The complicated web of relationships between the sisters, their Aunt Maureen, their absent mother, and Kay’s young daughter Billie, is only illuminated by the wedding. Gwen’s attempts to get Kay to take responsibility for her daughter highlights her own abandonment of her ex, Tom, leading them all to a not-so-perfect storm of a reception.
