eduardo and miguel portnoy are two twins from buenos aires, argentina. they live together, they have never been apart since they were born, and today they are all alone in this world. their family passed away with time. they don't have any close friends. they do everything alone. but they are never alone, because they have each other. the only support they have is the jewish community, that gives them employment, helping them materially and also emotionally. but, all in all, their main support is the love they have for each other and that symbiosis so typical of twins. the two of them are their only shelter, built upon love, loneliness and vulnerability.
