Twin brothers Alexandre and Victor Carrilare star in the French road movie Give Me Your Hand

18-year-old brothers Antoine and Quentin (played by real-life twins Alexandre and Victor Carrilare) live with their father and work as bakers in a bucolic French village.

When their estranged mother dies in Spain, they set off to attend the funeral, without telling their father. The journey turns out to be more difficult than either had anticipated and a rift threatens to split the brothers apart.

Soon, Antoine and Quentin must struggle to accept each other as individuals, and to find their places in an uncertain world.

Inspired by road movies of the ’70s, Give Me Your Hand earned rave reviews when it was released internationally in 2008. TimeOut New York said it was “richly atmospheric.” Shadows on the Wall called it “a fascinating exploration of identity.” And LondonView called it “a beautifully made, thought-provoking and ultimately moving film.”

Watch the trailer for Give Me Your Hand below. The film is now available on Dekkoo.
