Synopsis

Two brothers, twins. Monozygotic. One is an actor, the other works for the municipal utilities. As a child, one is healthy and strong, the other sickly and weak. When they are 17, they realize that Matthias only has one kidney, which has since failed and poisoned him for years. Christian gives him his. A film about two very similar and yet different brothers, humor, a twin relationship and an organ donation.
