Plot

Identical twins Iara and Marilena like to play games and deceive men by pretending to be each other. But when they fall in love with the same man, a rivalry with devastating and horrifying consequences begins.

Sinekatalog’s take

Identical twins who love fooling men fall for the same man, and their game turns horrifying. Andrucha Waddington builds a pulpy Brazilian psychological thriller on rivalry and deception. Lurid and tense, for those who enjoy melodramatic suspense.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
