Twin Islands: A Beautiful Animated Short About Twins, Gods and the Curse of Symmetry

When the gods wish to punish us… and if you’re twins, then your run the risk of double trouble.  This animated short from Rubika students tells the story of a pair of twins who are rescued by the gods and are gifted a place to live.  Twin Island East for one, and Twin Island West for the other.  The only problem is that the gods (twins themselves) ordain that everything must go two by two in a kind of cult of symmetry.  That leads to a big problem when the queen of Twin Island West gives birth… and it isn’t twins!

To find out what happens, watch the video the below.  This very professionally made animation is the work of directors Manon Sailly, Charlotte Sarfati, Christine Jaudoin, Lara Cochetel, Raphaël Huot, and Fanny Teisson with music and sound design by Valentin Lafort. Voices are by Daphné Westelynck, Robert Bennett, and Eon Ballinger.  There is a little twist in the tale, so watch to the very end!
