After the death of their ill-tempered and controlling father, two middle-aged sisters find themselves at a loss.  An unexpected visitor sparks the courage in them to begin their lives anew.. ‘Daughters of the Late Colonel’ is a merry, rude, and lyrical, animated adaptation of the modernist short story of the same name, written by Katherine Mansfield in 1920.
