A fragmented dialogue between twins reveals the intimacy of shared existence, from birth to tragic loss, capturing the fear of being one and the longing for the other.
In a split narrative, twin brothers retell their lives from conception to separation, blurring past and present, fiction and memory. Through a poetic interplay of voices, their bond emerges as both a gift and a weight. Sharing one face, one existence, and ultimately one loss. Combining animation with documentary textures, the film transforms personal grief into a universal reflection on identity, love, and what it means to carry the absence of the other within oneself.
