During the chaotic times of the COVID pandemic, two estranged sisters, Nina (36, a 1.5 generation U.S. immigrant) and Jet (20, a 2nd generation U.S. immigrant), find their way back to each other after years apart. Nina, a Chinese-born actress and former WWE host, is stuck in the Shanghai lockdown when she receives an unexpected message from Jet, her U.S.-born half-sister and an OnlyFans creator.
Both sisters are grappling with personal challenges and feelings of isolation. They decide to take a road trip across the U.S. to reconnect and rebuild their sisterhood. To Nina’s surprise, Jet can’t drive because their mom, Yan, discouraged her from doing so.

Years ago, Yan expelled a teenage Nina from the family, leaving a young Jet with only memories of a shadowy figure. Although they didn’t spend much time together over the years, they bond instantly through playful sister banter and create new memories to fill the moments they missed by not growing up together.They also piece together a portrait of their first-generation immigrant mother, who is in denial about her mental health and channels her turmoil onto her children.
In many Asian cultures mental health has long been a taboo topic, often seen as a sign of madness or weakness. "Sisters: Journey of the Mother Road" seeks to challenge that stigma by exposing the raw, unvarnished reality of one family’s struggle with generational trauma. The film explores the cyclical nature of trauma and healing, hoping to inspire others facing similar struggles to embrace difficult conversations, recognize signs of mental health challenges, and seek support.
