The story, written by Zsófi Lányi, revolves around thirtysomething identical twins Éva and Adél. They are very distant and different from one another, but they lead equally hypocritical lifestyles and need to face up to reality when they fall in love with the same guy, who is everything they are not: radically open, direct and naive.

Produced by Ági Pataki and Edina Kenesei for Partnersfilm, Not a Thing is being co-produced by VisionTeam and secured backing from the National Film Institute’s Incubator programme. Principal photography, which lasted 24 days, took place in Budapest over two shooting sessions, during last summer and last autumn, with Gábor Szilágyi serving as DoP. The international sales are handled by NFI World Sales.
