Plot Summary

The moment Blake Falls awakens and just before he drifts into sleep—these two fleeting minutes each day are when he feels truly alone. He grasps these moments desperately, for they serve as reminders of his identity. Played by Michael Polish, Blake shares a profound bond with his conjoined twin, Francis Falls, portrayed by Mark Polish. Francis recognizes that Blake’s strength sustains him; without Blake, he knows survival would be impossible.

The brothers lead a quiet existence in an eccentric hotel, inhabited by a cast of peculiar characters. Their unique communication has evolved over 25 years and they adorn themselves in custom-tailored suits, meticulously adjusting each other’s ties. Mealtimes are whimsical affairs—dining on cotton candy and celebrating their shared birthday with a single chocolate cake, blowing out two candles in succession as a symbol of their togetherness. They find humor in recounting outrageous tales from their earlier show business days.

When Francis falls ill, Blake remains a steadfast presence, holding him through the night, just as he always has. In those moments of collective vulnerability, they feel whole.

The arrival of Penny, portrayed by Michele Hicks, shifts their dynamic entirely. With her beauty and fresh perspective, she becomes the first person to truly see into their unique world. For the first time, the brothers begin to ponder new possibilities, inspiring thoughts of completeness beyond their previous understanding. Blake’s playful remark, > “Maybe I’ll call you when I’m single,” encapsulates their budding desire for connection outside their insulated existence.

As they navigate these newfound feelings, they imagine a life not defined by their medical condition but by their individuality—the ability to breathe, walk, and dream independently.

“Twin Falls Idaho” is an extraordinary love story brought to life by the talents of Michael Polish and Mark Polish, alongside Michele Hicks. The film also features a remarkable ensemble cast that includes Lesley Ann Warren, Patrick Bauchau, Jon Gries, Garrett Morris, and William Katt.
