Twins: one of nature's little jokes or a deep and mysterious relationship?
Chang and Eng the Siamese twins who married and while still joined together produced 21 children, are contrasted with the extraordinary emotional battle which engulfed 26-year-old Jo and Davinia as they struggled to separate their identities after living as one person.
Michael and Peter Ball pursued identical careers and both became bishops. But the talented Singh twins found their closeness a handicap when they were accused of cheating in their finals.
From black and white twins Wesley and Thomas to 86-year-olds Nellie and Cissie, identical twins, are an intriguing puzzle to the rest of us. In this compelling film they talk about themselves and each other in an attempt to illuminate the strangest partnership. Photography COLIN MUNN Film editor RAY FRAWLEY Executive producer
