Twin sisters live in complete symbiotic isolation. Every gesture in their life is perfectly synchronised. One day something changes and they are forced to embark on an adventurous journey to regain their normality.
Visually stunning and elegantly orchestrated, the universe of Phalène is an immersion into a world nuanced by science fiction and built on a delicate balance between sound and vision. A feast for the eyes and a powerful cinematic work.
