What if you had a sibling you never knew existed? What if you had two? The much-talked-about documentary Three Identical Strangers poses these questions and many more.

An earth-shattering phone call and a two-hour drive at breakneck speed later, he was standing outside the home of Edward Galland, a complete stranger with whom he shared a birth date and, he was about to discover, a whole lot more. “As I reach out to knock on the door, it opens,” Bobby says in the movie. “And there I am.
