Sienna is trying to survive her grief by clinging tightly to what she knows. In short, she is seeing her dead sister Emily everywhere she goes. Not just glimpses – the two are closer than ever. Emily’s always been Sienna’s favourite person to talk to, and she’s not going to let a small thing like being dead get in the way.
As Sienna’s illusion deepens, it begins to fracture her relationships: with her boyfriend, her job, and her mother. What starts as comfort becomes destabilising, and the boundary between happiness and illusion begins to blur.
All The Happy Things is a dark comedy about sisterhood, love, and letting go of someone when you expected they’d be there forever.
