Synopsis
Through a dual narration, the identical twins Omar and Wesam evoke their common memories, from the time in their mother’s womb to the time when they are tragically separated. Written and directed by twins, the film combined 2D animation and shots in live action to relate with great tenderness and affection the difficulty of existing without the other.
