About this work
Description
Documentary telling the story of a 7-year-old Kazakhstani boy called Alamjan, on whom doctors performed surgery, discovering that this child's twin was growing inside him. His family had thought that his seriously distended stomach was caused by rickets or a hernia, but surgeons thought it was a cyst and operated. What they found inside was a living being: Alamjan's twin, who, instead of growing in their mother's womb, had become trapped inside Alamjan's body while they were still foetuses.
