Brief synopsis
“My Brother, My Brother” is an autofiction animation film that explores the complexities of a past shared by two identical twins: Omar and Wesam.
A split narrative retells the two sides of their memories – from the instant they were fused together in their mother’s womb to the moment they are parted by the tragic death of one of them. Tied together by the twins’ confusion about their existence, a fragmented world of memories and dreams emerges, blurring the lines between reality and fiction, present and past, Omar and Wesam.
