THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS
Synopsis
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants brings to the screen Ann
Brashares’ best-selling novel about one very special summer
in the lives of four lifelong friends.
Introduced as babies who were born to mothers who met in a
prenatal aerobics class, the four grew up together and
developed an enduring bond despite their distinctly different
emerging personalities. Now, after years of sharing every
triumph and loss, every wild idea and secret fear with the
laughter and love of true friends, these four young women
couldn’t be closer… except that they’re about to be separated
as their lives take them in different directions for the first time.
Introspective and occasionally volatile Carmen (AMERICA
FERRERA) is looking forward to spending quality time with her
out-of-state dad, whom she hasn’t seen much since he
divorced her mother years ago; super-confident star athlete
Bridget (BLAKE LIVELY) is heading for a soccer camp in
Mexico; soft-spoken Lena (ALEXIS BLEDEL), a gifted artist as
beautiful as her drawings, is set to discover her heritage – and
an unexpected romance – on a trip to her grandparents’ home
in Greece; and sharp-witted rebel Tibby (AMBER TAMBLYN) will
reluctantly remain in town, stocking shelves at the local
discount store while working on her pet project, a video
“suckumentary” to expose what she sees as the banality of
everyday life.

On a shopping trip together the day before their paths diverge, the friends find a pair of thrift-shop jeans that
amazingly fits and flatters each one of them perfectly, even though they are four young women of very
different shapes and sizes. It seems these pants are meant for sharing and that gives Carmen, Bridget, Lena
and Tibby a wonderful idea. They decide to use the pants as a way of keeping in touch during the months
ahead, each one wearing them for a week to see what luck they bring before mailing them on to the next.
In this unique way, though miles apart, the four still experience the challenges and surprises of life as they
always have – together – in a summer they’ll never forget.
