The Other Sister: A Heartfelt Tale of Love and Independence

After receiving a well-earned certification from a sheltered boarding school, Carla Tate, an ambitious young woman with a mild intellectual disability, returns home to her overprotective and slightly snobby mother Elizabeth. Elizabeth seems to behave as if she is embarrassed about her youngest daughter’s disability. During family discussions, Elizabeth adopts an uneasy attitude because her daughter was bullied as a child.

Building Independence Through Love

Carla’s father Radley is a dentist and recovering alcoholic. Carla’s ambition is to seek more independence from her family by earning a diploma from a polytechnic school. When Carla meets Danny McMahon, another student who also has a developmental disability, they become friends and soon fall in love together. Envying Danny’s freedom, Carla convinces her parents she is capable of living on her own and moves into her own apartment. After a time, Carla and Danny become sexually active together.

Challenges and Realizations

Danny’s independence is financially compromised when his wealthy and emotionally detached father abruptly stops sending subsistence money due to Danny flunking his classes. Danny begins to realize that the independence he enjoyed comes with a staggering cost. Danny gets drunk, then seeks solace and insight (and a joyride in a vintage Ford Mustang convertible) from his landlord and friend, Ernie.

During a Christmas party at the country club, nervous about his personal lot, Danny drinks too much to build up his courage to declare his love for Carla. He also tells everyone about their first time making love. A humiliated Carla bursts into tears, screaming at everyone to stop laughing at her. Although Danny did not intend to embarrass Carla, she nonetheless refuses to see him anymore. Over time, Carla realizes she still loves Danny and wants to see him again despite her mother’s advising her otherwise.

A Wedding to Remember

At her older sister Caroline’s wedding, Danny surprises Carla by showing up at the church and asks her to marry him, in a scene mimicking The Graduate, the couple’s favorite film, to which she accepts. Everyone supports their wishes except Elizabeth, who is unsure Danny can take care of himself, let alone Carla. Carla angrily tells her mother that she is sick of her combination of three behaviors: dominance, negativity, and doubt. Also, Carla is sick of her mother constantly treating her like two things at once: an embarrassment and a handicap. Radley and her sisters, Heather and Caroline, support her decision, and the wedding is planned.

At first, Elizabeth is determined not to attend, but Radley admonishes her. He said that he will walk Carla down the aisle. Finally, after realizing how selfish she has been behaving, Elizabeth relents. Outside the church, Danny surprises Carla with their school’s marching band playing “76 Trombones” from The Music Man, and they are chauffeured away to their honeymoon in Ernie’s prized Mustang.
