"Zus & Zo"
2001
Directed by Paula van der Oest

In this biting comedy, three sisters are shocked to learn that their gay brother is marrying a woman. When they discover that he will inherit the family-owned hotel in Portugal as a result of the marriage, they go to great lengths to disrupt the engagement. Nominated for a Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award, this film is "about as vigorous and intricate as a romantic comedy can get" (Eddie Cockrell, Variety).  106 minutes.
