A tale of twin girls, Dóra and Lili, who are born in 1880 Budapest at the same moment Thomas Edison presents his electric lightbulb to the world. The sisters are soon orphaned and separated in childhood, and follow different paths: one grows up to be a naïvely idealistic, bomb-toting anarchist, the other a pampered, hedonistic courtesan. Their paths cross once again on the Orient Express on New Year's Eve 1899...

Found it hard to connect with this, but appreciate a lot of it. Very interesting that Enyedi has such large gaps in her filmography until ramping it up with 3 features in the last 8 years. Hoping Todd Field takes this same trajectory 🙏

The added dub of giggling was integral to the quality of the film
