NOT A THING

Twin siblings, a pair of portraits, juxtaposed: Adèl and Evá – both brilliantly embodied by Natasa Stork – are identical twins whose individual lives contrast sharply. On one hand: Adèl, who works as a doctor in a meagrely equipped hospital and unwinds at night by playing computer games all by herself in her tiny apartment. On the other: Evá, a homemaker who lives with her affluent husband and new-born child in a picture-perfect luxury villa. The sisters' different life circumstances cause tension in their relationship, a situation that escalates when Adèl receives a job offer in Norway. Fanni Szilágyi's feature-film debut is an empathetic, conflict-ridden drama about two women's lives. With its unusual mirroring of the plot, the film manages to achieve a surprising shift in perspective, challenging our previous impressions of the protagonists, while recurring musical and visual elements serve to connect the twins' experiences in a symbolic manner.
