In a missionary hospital in Adis Ababa, under tragic, truly Shakespearean circumstances, two boys, two twins conjoined at the back of their heads, Marion and Shiva, are born. Born to a beautiful Indian nun by an English surgeon, the boys are orphaned in their first hours of life. The skill and courage of the doctors who separated them immediately after birth shaped their lives and destiny. Marion and Shiva will connect their lives to medicine, but each will go their own way. An amazing, tragic and full of incredible events fate awaits them. Absolutely happy childhood and dramatic adolescence, search for themselves and their roots, betrayal and passionate desire to redeem themselves, love, like an obsession, and jealousy, eating away at the soul.
