Synopsis

Part concept film, part biopic, part historical record and part comedy, this newly released feature length documentary was made to mark the Topp Twins' 50th birthday. For the first time, New Zealand's favourite comedic, country singing, dancing and yodeling lesbian twin sisters tell their personal story from their "coming out" to Jools Topp's recent brush with breast cancer. The film features rarely seen archive footage and home movies, as well as interviews with the Topps' infamous comedy alter-egos.
