When I first heard about this movie, I had saw their initial kickstarter campaign and was about to donate but saw it had already been fulfilled and then some. As I anxiously awaited for the film to come out, the story did not disappoint at all. The music, the animations and the overall cinematography is extremely well-done. Their story is pretty amazing when you think about it. Anais's friend stumbled upon the initial youtube video which lead to him sharing it and all of their friends trying to reach Sam. If Sam had ignored any of it, she never would have met her sister. The only other possible way would be if either Anais or Sam got big in their professions and made it to the international level.

Most of my interests have always been the science of the world we live in and one in particular is the phenomenon of identical twins. Children who are of the same DNA but who grew up as two separate people. No two people in the world are as similar as identical twins. We also were given the gift of having identical twins in our extended family so this documentary was even more interesting to me.In summary just let me say this is a totally absorbing film and watching it alternately brought warm feelings and tears to my eyes. The sisters are great, they appreciate the lives they have been given, their parents and friends appreciate them.All this would not have been possible for them had it not been for the internet, especially Youtube and Facebook. In 2013, when the sisters were about 26, one friend noticed an image that looked just like his friend but knew it wasn't his friend. This got into motion messages, friend requests, online chats, Skype visits, and finally a remarkable face-to-face visit in London. Originally put up for adoption in Korea, Anais Bordier, one of the twins, grew up in France while the other, Samantha (Sam) Futerman, grew up in New Jersey. Anais moved to London to pursue her fashion design interests while Sam moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. In fact, with funding help through Kickstarter, Sam acted as writer, producer, and director for this documentary.

This documentary was possibly the most emotionally involving film I've seen in years. As the protagonist becomes immersed in the totally surreal experience of discovering and meeting her doppelgänger on another continent, the viewer can completely empathize with every twinge of emotion, euphoria, stupefaction, and deep, deep feeling. It also provides some good insights into the Korean international adoption phenomenon and the large number of adoptees hoping to meet their birth mothers. By turns hilarious and heartrending, it really gives you the whole roller-coaster experience. Bring a hanky and be prepared to fall in love.The skill and immediacy of the story-telling are phenomenal--well-conceived and beautifully executed. The music and animation are effectively and judiciously used, and the editing was genius.Of course it is an amazing story, so that helps. It left me wanting to stay involved in the story, caring so much about these endearing, creative, hilarious, true-hearted people. Brava! (pop)
