The Daughter They Never Chose

5 episodes

Go to the full screening

A twin walks out on a shared wedding after a lifetime of erasure, leaving her family to confront the medical proof they ignored.

Claire and Chloe enter the world on the same day and are scheduled to wed on it too, yet only Chloe receives a dowry. For twenty years Claire absorbs the loss of her chosen dress, an emptied bank account, and a documented seafood allergy her sister treats as fabrication. The night before the ceremony she marries privately, boards a flight to Switzerland, and severs contact. Her parents uncover the forgotten medical records only after she has vanished, confirming the allergy was never a lie.
