Adapted from a book by Brian Aldiss this is a story of conjoined twins exploited as a pop act. Aldiss recalls the day when the inspiration for the book came from a horrible dream he had when on holiday with his family in Norfolk - the story of conjoined twins exploited as a group. With a script by our guest Tony Grisoni, this film won awards up and down the festival circuit. ‘An intriguing oddity of a film’ says Peter Bradshaw ‘it isn’t right to call it a mockumentary; more a serious documentary about something that did not happen’. Thanks to Pallisades Tartan.
