<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Synopsis">Synopsis</h2></div>
<p>The film describes how Robert Shafran discovered he had a twin brother after he arrived on the campus of a New York community college in 1980 and was constantly greeted by students and staff who incorrectly recognized him as Eddy Galland. The two met that evening, and, finding out both had been adopted, quickly concluded that they were twins. Months later, the publicity surrounding this human-interest story reached David Kellman, whose resemblance and matching adoption circumstances indicated that the three were actually <a href="Multiple_birth#Triplets" title="Multiple birth">identical triplets</a>.
</p><p>The brothers found themselves to be alike in many ways beyond their appearance: they had the same taste in food, smoked the same brand of cigarettes, all wrestled in high school, and all had shown signs of separation anxiety as children. They quickly became a minor media sensation, appearing on talk shows such as <i><a href="The_Phil_Donahue_Show" title="The Phil Donahue Show">The Phil Donahue Show</a></i>, and celebrated their newfound brotherhood, moving in together and opening a restaurant called Triplets, which they operated together.
</p><p>Each of the boys had been involved as children in a study by psychiatrists <a href="Peter_B._Neubauer" title="Peter B. Neubauer">Peter B. Neubauer</a> and Viola W. Bernard, under the auspices of the <a href="Jewish_Board_of_Family_and_Children's_Services" title="Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services">Jewish Board of Guardians</a>, which involved periodic home visits and evaluations, the true intent of which never was explained to the adoptive parents. Following the discovery that the boys were triplets, the parents sought more information from the Louise Wise adoption agency, which said that they had separated the boys because of the difficulty of placing triplets in a single household. Upon further investigation, however, it was revealed that the infants had been intentionally separated and placed with families having different parenting styles and economic levels—one <a href="Blue-collar" class="mw-redirect" title="Blue-collar">blue-collar</a>, one <a href="Middle-class" class="mw-redirect" title="Middle-class">middle-class</a>, and one affluent—as an <a href="Human_subject_research" title="Human subject research">experiment on human subjects</a>. During the film, the question is asked by the siblings if perhaps they and the other sets of twins involved in the study were chosen because their parents had reported signs of mental illness before having children, but one researcher interviewed denies this flatly, saying the research was simply about parenting.
</p><p>Over time, differences among the triplets became apparent, and their relationships became strained, especially due to the stress of running their restaurant. All three had struggled with mental health problems in their youth, and Galland, who was diagnosed with <a href="Manic_depressive_disorder" class="mw-redirect" title="Manic depressive disorder">manic depressive disorder</a>, died by suicide in 1995.
</p><p>The results of the experiment were never published, and the records will remain sealed until 2066. However, at the end of the film, onscreen text explains that Kellman and Shafran have both been granted access to the files, though they are heavily redacted and contain no formal conclusions.
