The film is one of the most successful documentaries with large revenues worldwide, acclaimed reviews and participation in festivals around the world and numerous awards. The jury's special award at the Sundance Film Festival was chosen as one of the five best documentary films of the year by the American Visitor Association, the Critics' Award at the Chicago Film Festival.
THE PLOT: New York, 1980. Three 19-year-old Jewish boys - Bobby Shafran, Eddy Galland, and David Kellman - accidentally discover that three brothers who were born as an identical trio were separated at birth and handed over to various families. The happy reunion makes the three an international sensation, but also reveals an amazing and disturbing secret, a secret that can change our understanding of human nature. Wardle deals with the human story, which is exciting and fascinating with reason and skill, and confronts us with penetrating questions about parenthood, authority and free will
