What happens to the unique bond between identical twins when they're no longer identical?
Mark and Alex Farley were beyond close the first 14 years of their idyllic childhood.
Born two minutes apart but separated for two and a half years after a joint suicide
pact, the twins come back together as their parent's marriage falls apart. The film,
shot over three years, follows Alex, now Claire, living in New York and considering
gender reassignment surgery, and Mark, attending art school in San Francisco.
Interweaving interviews, archival footage and experimental super-8 sequences in a
style more narrative than traditional documentary, Red Without Blue is an intimate
account of the twin's struggle for individuality and a return to themselves.
