Synopsis
Siamese twins Annie and Dani face physical separation in a procedure as surgical as it is existential. Their brother Willie, who has to operate on them, confesses his desire to be a siamese and asks for sewing himself to one of them. The cast's tensions and obsessions intertwine with fantastical fiction, while the main location threatens to collapse.
