Mixed is a hilarious yet moving story of family and faith, best served hot (or cold) with a dollop of sour cream.

Sisters Ruth and Miriam Green spent most of their childhood loving each other and hating each other, treasuring each other and resenting each other. Now they’re grown up their lives have taken them on very different paths, creating a rift which is proving difficult to heal. Ruth has followed her traditional Jewish upbringing. Miriam has not – and while she wants to instil her heritage in her children, they just want to fit in.

As resentment, tension and divisions build within the family, can the sisters overlook their differences or will their family be torn apart?
