Synopsis

When a dishwasher has an affair with a colleague, he discovers he looks uncannily like her husband, a criminal serving time, and a threatening game of doppelgangers gradually unfolds. The story, loosely based on Hitchcock's Vertigo, is presented in a darkly comic way using carefully framed shots and minimal dialogue, as an exploration on identity unfolds.
