It's a story of twins finding and meeting their older, previously unknown, sister. The movie is intended to look like it's a documentary, so the idea is really good, however, the execution of the idea is really bad. Mostly because it is shot and acted like it's a movie, there is nothing that feels real about it. The Finnish actors are ruining it with their mannerisms that only actors have and pauses in unnatural places of a sentence, that only actors ever do. You would have thought that the director could have directed them to appear more realistic but no, it looks and feels just like a terrible made-for-television film where the actors go above and beyond to speak and behave like nobody ever does in real life. I watched it for an hour and then gave up, I don't want to waste my life longer than that watching this.
