Jess finds a mysterious and seemingly magical glass flask on the day her conjoined twin brothers are born. She believes their survival is tied to the magic in the flask, but it's never really clear what's true and what may be delusion. Slow but always sensitive, this introspective story about survival and hope will appeal to those who appreciate tales of familial bonds.
