My Twentieth Century

Original title: Az én XX. századom

  • Genre: Comedy · Drama · History

It is a meditation embodied in a fictional story of two mutually unknown twin sisters with diametrically opposite life paths. The girls independently encounter the sympathetic Mr. Z., who assumes he is meeting one and the same woman.
