PROJECT SUMMARY
- The film follows twin brothers Abe and Kay, two young men bound together by a strange shared suit and a strict, repetitive routine. As Abe begins to emotionally unravel and seek individuality, cracks literal and psychological form in their world, pushing Kay into a desperate struggle to keep their lives from falling apart. The story blends emotional realism with dreamlike, surreal atmosphere, exploring identity, grief, and co-dependence.
ROLES
- ABE (Male, 20–25)
Gentle, sensitive, and quietly yearning. Abe longs for connection and individuality beyond the rigid structure of his shared life. His arc moves from innocence and hope to rebellion, heartbreak, and tragic collapse. Requires expressive, emotional acting with strong physical awareness. - KAY (Male, 20–25)
Controlled, disciplined, and emotionally restrained. Kay clings to routine to maintain order and suppress fear. As Abe drifts from him, Kay unravels from frustration and rigidity into guilt, grief, and eventual acceptance. Requires subtle, internalised performance and strong physical control.
