Synopsis
The case of two twin, ten-year-old girls who speak to each other in their own language is documented. It is thought that since the twins grew up exposed to family members who spoke different languages and traveled to several countries during their childhood, that this may have caused them to invent their unique language. The girls are seen speaking to each other, and the director talks to their therapists, their family, and specialists who work with them.
