Four of a Kind
Julie Carles is one of only 27 mothers in the world known to have given birth to identical quadruplets, and this film follows her family as they navigate life with four daughters who share the same genetic code. Cameras capture the daily mechanics of raising quadruplets, the medical curiosity surrounding the pregnancy, and the way strangers react when the family goes out in public. Interviews with Julie and the people around her fill in what the record-book statistic leaves out: the logistics of feeding, schooling, and telling four identical girls apart, and the toll and reward of a household built around a genetic rarity. The film treats the quadruplets less as a medical curiosity than as four distinct people who happen to share a face, tracking small differences in personality and habit that separate them despite the odds. It is a close, domestic portrait rather than a clinical one, built around a family whose ordinary struggles play out inside an extraordinary statistic.
