Films about identical twins often delve into doubling and doppelgänger theory. But Fanni Szilágyi’s fresh-faced, confident debut uses the idea to probe identity and womanhood in a more spontaneous way.

Éva and Adél are both played by Natasa Stork (Preparations to be Together for an Unknown Period of Time) who effortlessly differentiates the women in every gesture. Adél is a junior doctor about to emigrate, who feels socially inferior to her glamorous, pregnant sister Éva and her seemingly perfect, wealthy suburbanite life. When both women are drawn to the same man, a reckoning beckons, but Szilágyi gratifyingly keeps the focus on the side of the love triangle that extends between the two sisters, who perhaps share more than a face after all.
