Synopsis
The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls is the first time that the extraordinary personal stories of the irrepressible Kiwi entertainment double act, Jools and Lynda Topp, have been told.
Fun, disarming and musically provocative, the Topp Twins are New Zealand's finest lesbian country and western singers, and the world's only comedic, country singing, dancing, and yodelling twin sisters.
The film offers a revealing look into the lives of the Topps. As well as rarely seen archive footage and home movies, the film features a series of special interviews with some of their infamous comedy alter-egos.
About the Film and the Director
The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls is a big story. It’s not just the story of two sisters but also of two truly unique New Zealanders and 50 years of New Zealand history. Part concept film, part biopic, part historical record, part comedy, the twins share their journey from ‘coming out’ to Jools' recent brush with breast cancer with much laughter, honesty and wisdom.
