Degrees of love
This could be an educational movie about MILK: where it comes from and what becomes of it! The story of milk is told through 4 separate GL romances (???) of different degrees following the maturation and transformation of milk into a cheesecake! Very symbolic!
The first story, The Dairy Farm, talks about two childhood friends who are trying to get the cows to give more milk. They are extremely close friends but are they more? Open to interpretation! Playing the piano in the field for the cows was really cute and the chemistry between the girls was natural.
In the second story, The Cheesemaker, an overstressed and very unhappy city office girl, goes on an impromptu vacation to a countryside cheese maker's farmstead and B&B. There she bonds with the owner's daughter over making cheese with the milk from the previous story's dairy farm...a relationship in the making? Probably but nothing is ever said openly, everything is just implied.
The third story, Deliver Me, follows the earlier mentioned farm's cheese delivery girl who meets her high school best friend/girlfriend after a long time. They really talk for the first time ever. Probably my favourite story! I liked the delivery girl a lot, carrying her heart on her sleeve but lacking the courage to ask what she really wants to know with her ex pretending to be oblivious! The love they felt for each other was not mature enough to bloom properly.
In the last story, Baker, the delivery girl delivers cheese to a cafe where the owner makes delicious cheesecakes. She is being hit upon by her extremely annoying neighbour but is completely unaware of it while at the same time falling for her! This is a full fledged GL but fraught with misunderstandings and lack of communication (if they talked to each other from the beginning the movie would have been much much shorter).
The Cheese Sisters is a cute movie, the actresses have great chemistry and the countryside is really pretty especially in the first story. Each story is about 30min long. There is not much conflict and no toxicity whatsoever. I liked how the movie was constructed with every degree of love from friendship to committed relationship. Even the titles of stories can be understood as descriptions of these relationships. You will spend a nice moment watching this and then you'll forget about it!
