My 20th Century

101 min

Dernier jour

Twin girls are born the same night Thomas Edison unveils his electric lightbulb to the world. But the orphaned sisters grow up worlds apart, one a seductive writer, the other a revolutionary anarchist. On New Year’s Eve in 1899, their lives unknowingly intersect aboard the Orient Express. A dreamlike journey that blends politics and invention into a luminous fable of modern times.
