From their cousin's couch in Barcelona, inseparable identical twins Rubert and Rubildo upload self-made music videos. The brothers share a laptop and a dream of achieving internet fame. Determined to make it as YouTube sensations, they pledge to make their parents in Cuba proud. In this, her first documentary film, award-winning indie queen Ingrid Veninger uses her understated observational camera to follow the twins as they roam the streets and beaches of their new home on the lookout for video material. In moments of candid honesty, the reserved brothers open up about what they've sacrificed to achieve their dream and what celebrity may mean to their family back home. The World or Nothing is a tender look at the millennial search for online fame, the immigrant dream of "making it" and the inspiring bonds of brotherly love. Aisha Jamal
