Your twin sister finds God. You find a camera. What could go wrong?
A documentary about twin sisters whose beliefs have taken them on different paths. Filmmaker Zohra begins filming her twin sister Sanaa in their apartment in Brussels. When Sanaa silently turns to Islam, the religion the two sisters partially grew up with, Zohra becomes more and more consumed by capturing her sister. The inevitable transformation leads to a need to understand each other anew.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film emerged from Brussels' complex Maghrebi-European identity landscape, where secular and religious Muslim identities increasingly clash within families.
Romy Mana joined as co-director specifically because Zohra was too emotionally entangled to see her own footage clearly.
