在这部双生儿之幻想奇幻片中,瑞尼哲博士是一个儿童心理学的专家,他坚信自己的病人——安娜双胞胎姐妹患有一种罕见的Asperger综合征,这是一种以社交障碍和狭窄、刻板的兴趣行为为特征,但无语言发育障碍,且认知能力正常的病症。然而事实好像并不如他所推断的那样……
Dr. Reineger is a child neuro-psychologist who has become confident that the twin Anna has a form of autism called Asperger's Syndrome, rendering her unable to cope with reality. As for her blind sister, Sarah, the Doctor cannot say for sure why her visions map so closely to Anna's. At home, their father leaves the family. To escape the pain, the girls sink deeper and deeper into their imaginations. When a major earthquake takes their mother's life, Reineger is left with helping the now-orphaned twins cope, while at the same time dealing with his own struggle concerning the girls' prophetic visions. The girls escape the institution. The subsequent search party can't track them. Have they indeed transcended the physical realm?
