Parallel Lives backdrop

Parallel Lives 2021 Directed by Frank Matter

Five people born on June 8, 1964 – Five lives, five countries, five decades.

Born June 8, 1964, Frank Matter films four "twins", born the same day as him, but in other latitudes. Interweaving their life stories with rich archival material, the filmmaker links these Parallel Lives with elements from his own biography, to compose a fascinating fresco where intimate trajectories are part of the advent of the global village.
