About the film:
Adam Bell is a Toronto college professor. He is a rather somber man, largely because he is stuck in a routine, which includes a relationship with his live-in girlfriend, Mary. While watching a movie, he spots an actor in a bit part that looks exactly like him. He becomes obsessed with finding out about this double.
