There is a very special closeness between twins. But how does identity develop when a life is shared from the very beginning?

To be two

A short documentary about pairs of twins and their lives between closeness and independence.

Our project is a short documentary about two pairs of identical twins. Emmi and Tilda, 
14-year-old girls, have never been separated for more than a day and share their 
everyday lives, even though each pursues her own interests. RitSki and Gerd, 75-
year-old men, have taken very different paths in life yet share a deep connection 
through music. The wide age range shows how the relationship between twins can 
shift across different stages of life and which forms of closeness endure over 
decades. Our inspiration arose from a fascination with this unique bond: twins touch on a 
cultural core—the longing for deep connection as well as the fear of losing oneself. 
The tension between closeness and individuality sparked our curiosity and raised 
questions that reach far beyond the phenomenon of twinhood: Who am I when there 
is another version of me? What is closeness without choice? Can you grow apart 
without losing each other?
