Is (Un)lucky Sisters a True Story?
Certainly, (Un)lucky Sisters focuses on quite realistic topics but it is not a real story and has no intention to be one. It is a movie based on a screenplay written by Mariano Vera and the characters, storyline depicted therein, are, therefore, fictitious.

It is a journey of redemption since the characters are stuck in the middle of the past and the future and have to choose the later.
Family bonds such as that of the relation between siblings and that between children and parents give an extra dimension to the story. It challenges the audience to ponder in how far one would be willing to go for family and if it is possible to turn one’s luck by getting rich. Since the story is entirely fictional, the filmmakers are not limited to the realistic depiction of the characters’ actions and their emotional experiences are depicted rather freely which makes this picture captivating.
