One night, while watching a film, a university lecturer called Adam spots a bit part actor who looks just like him. Consumed by the desire to meet his doppelgänger, Adam tracks down Anthony, who is living with his pregnant wife Helen. But once they confront each other things take a turn for the surreal, twisted and irreversibly unhinged. The film is a haunting and provocative psychosexual thriller about duality and identity, where in the end only one man can survive. A gripping feature film based on the novel 'The Double' by Nobel Laureate José Saramago.
