- Two twin sisters, who grew up separately, Dóra, a pseudo-aristocrat, and Lili, an anarchist bomber, are reunited through Z, a mysterious traveller of the luxurious Orient-Express.
- Separated identical twins ride an Orient Express unaware of each other: a feminist anarchist and a hedonistic courtesan, living under the powder-keg Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Separate families adopted the impoverished orphans. At the dawn of the 20th Century the double-blind experiment hits crescendo for Dora & Lili, born the evening Edison unveiled his incandescent bulb. In 1900, technology was accelerating, could women's rights and national self-determination keep pace?—David Stevens
- At the exact moment of the first public demonstration of Thomas A. Edison's wondrous incandescent light bulb, the identical twin sisters, Dóra and Lili, are born in Budapest. Forced by a cruel fate to sell matches in the street, the impecunious siblings are stolen on a cold night, only to reunite in 1900, aboard the luxurious Orient Express. One of them is a pampered, jewellery-loving pseudo-aristocrat who takes great joy in scamming wealthy men; while the other is an idealistic, bomb-wielding anarchist and passionate feminist. Now, after all these years, Z, the mysterious suave traveller, becomes the inadvertent catalyst, intertwining the fates of the separated twins. Will the orphaned sisters' lives finally reconverge?—Nick Riganas
