Description
SISTERS. FRIENDS. RIVALS.
NOTHING HURTS LIKE FAMILY.
Ines is reluctantly moving home on the edge of a breakdown, her childhood sweetheart in tow. He's only ever wanted what was best for her.
Gwen is elated that her prodigal daughter has returned.
Dylan is still licking her wounds from a rejection she can't forget.
And Emma is quietly suffocating in the perfect marriage she wanted so badly.
They were inseparable once. But that was a long time ago. Now, they're back in the Welsh town where they grew up, peeling back the layers of a once forgotten, haunting past. What they find may be the end of them...
Uninhibited, claustrophobic and complex, Selfish Girls spans generations, buried resentments, and an unexpected love story. It is a clear-eyed portrait of a dysfunctional family and the pain we inflict on those we love most.
