A sensitive and true ode to adolescence and twinhood
As the world is on the verge of tipping over into the twenty-first century, with all the irrational fears aroused by the transition to the year 2000, two twin sisters who until then have lived in unfailing complicity and the sharing of all aspects of their daily life, will also see their universe turned upside down.
With their parents going through a divorce, Yu and Mee are sent to their grandmother's house in northeast Thailand where they reunite with a classmate, Marc, with whom they both fall in love. Torn between the affection that the two sisters have for each other and their love for this boy, the two twins live their first experiences as individuals and teenagers.
Initiatory rite of passage from childhood to adolescence, of passing from a close-knit couple to two complicit but free individuals, this film transcribes with great sensitivity and accuracy the heartbreak specific to the twins, torn between a close relationship and a emerging natural need for self-affirmation.
