This is one of the most subtle and beautiful twists. In my mind, maybe the dancing twin did feel a pinch for a moment as the working twin touched the fan blades, but we see that she was never injured or truly harmed, at all. A revelation about intention is made. The working twin has, in fact, taken the spotlight for a moment -- not in an act of malicious hunger to "please mommy," but to grant her beloved sister reprieve from that suffocation. They were a bonded pair, all along, not spiteful or jealous of each other, but a true team in the face of an overbearing, narcissistic mother.

This is a good example of how a lot of parents put too much pressure on their children to be involved in activities that they really do not want to be involved with. The parent is trying to live his/her dream through their children. The parents are more concerned about showing their children off to society more then being more concerned about the child as an individual person. I know of a lot of fathers who want their sons to be in sports and do well, and if if they do not want to be involved in sports, then the father has very little social interaction with them. What a shame. This is why the sister in this short film pretended that her arm was injured, because he got tired of her mother putting so much pressure on her. This is a great film.

Several people have commented on the fact the second sister fell on her right side but seemed to be grabbing her left arm. Her recovery at the end seems to indicate no permanent damage.

in the beginning i was like "thank god i don't have siblings." but the ending man, it made me cry. amazing job.

Finally free, able to be themselves, without having to suffer to prove that the sacrifices of their grandparents were worthwhile. That is why people give up so much for their children, so that they can be free to live their life and be happy, not to pay back the past. Our grandparents who fled and suffered to find freedom did it so we could eat cake, not so we could live a strict regime.

who else dosent want to pay for netflix so they binge watch omleto instead? 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

[@christinebeames2311]

If you ring Netflix to cancel saying you don’t watch enough to warrant the money , the suddenly can cut it by half , quite amazing

This is great. Parents do sometimes make their childrens accomplishments more about themselves in a reflective manner.

[@pawtcha]

it seems like the mum is living vicariously through her daughters ugh

[@babsbybend]

❤️ The sub-plot with the co-workers was great. Karma bites. Also, twin ESP rules. Sorta 😄

[@krishnasingh3212]

As a twin, I would say its always good to be different from your twin for your own mental health. But then again toxic parents might favour another for some reason.

[@balausaizbasar6595]

This remind me twin girls from Kazakhstan , in the karate championship they have to fight to decide champion instead they played rock-paper-scissors winner became champion

Dance and smile for the people you want to dance and smile for.

Wonderful short film, but also sad. Unfortunately some parents do not appreciate the wonderful and healthy kids that have and ruin everything by making everything about themselves. Thanks a lot!

The girl has the worst customer service, no wonder she never made employee of the month.

She just didn’t want to live her mother’s dream whilst her sister won the competition with her own self inflicted suffering away from her mother’s influence and manipulation! Good piece of work Thank you

12:42 "You're sisters arm is f**ked" That part made me laugh after finishing the heartwarming tale and running back a few parts for s&g

[@jeremywithacamera235]

That's a real shame. Gymnastics Daughter gets all mom's attention, while Spa daughter gets none. Once gymnastics daughter "fails"/loses the competition, suddenly Spa daughter is the new favourite. For a moment there, I thought they were going to pull the "if I hurt my hand, her hand will hurt too" sister sabotages other sister thing. I'm glad they didn't go there..but I still don't understand why spa daughter put her hand in the fan. Great ending though. Gymnastics daughter sabotages herself because she hated mom's relentless pressure. Good for her for stepping up.

[@biancaravizza1328]

Whoever made this, did a stellar job! Details and photograpy are so accurate. It almost doesnt need words.

[@deynaweatherly4331]

i truly love the message in this omeleto video, it actually brought on all the feels for me! thank you for sharing it with the world, we need more of this type of video/movies to teach the entitled twits of the world how to act properly

[@Keebibi_]

They are so cute, this film was really good 😭😭😭

[@jeannetteburgess2745]

The lead actress used to be in Home and Away...Great story here.... Thought provoking as always..

[@krashd]

In my opinion Vivika was on screen more and so her actor was the lead, whereas it was Nouchka's actor who was in Home & Away.

[@JoyArt33]

Such a great movie. The mum reminds me so much of my grandmother when I was a classical prodigy before I got sick. Really sick, not pretending to escape the pressure… but I totally understand why one would pretend. Now my brother with his perfect daughter is the favourite. And he hates it as much as I did. Sometimes being the black sheep is for the best. Love this baaaa

[@HawkinaBox]

That dance at the end was so cute

[@jaysonjota]

At the end she did the performance for her sister, the only one who truly deserved it for been employee of the month. Beautiful message.
