My Twentieth Century

At the exact moment of the first public demonstration of Thomas A. Edison's wondrous incandescent light bulb, the identical twin sisters, Dora and Lili, are born in Budapest. Forced by a cruel fate to sell matches in the street, the impecunious siblings are stolen on a cold night, only to reunite in 1900, aboard the luxurious Orient Express. One of them is a pampered, jewellery-loving pseudo-aristocrat who takes great joy in scamming wealthy men; while the other is an idealistic, bomb-wielding anarchist and passionate feminist. Now, after all these years, Z, the mysterious suave traveller, becomes the inadvertent catalyst, intertwining the fates of the separated twins. Will the orphaned sisters' lives finally reconverge?
