A family of refugees are fleeing their country during the 1956 Hungarian revolution. They all make it to the Austrian border except for one of the 12 year old twin girls, Magda. Not knowing where Magda is, or whether she is still alive, her twin Julika grows up in the West. When, over a decade later, the twins are re-united by pure coincidence, Magda is found leading the simple life of a Hungarian peasant mother of two, while Julika has become a successful ballerina touring a city slickers' world.
Two intertwined stories emerge: Magda and Julika growing up on opposite sides of the Iron Curtain. They were inseparable, almost like one creature, before the revolution. Ten years on, aged 22, how can the twins come to terms with the gaping culture clash caused by their separation?
