Synopsis: Adam Bell is a Toronto area History 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 rental movie, he spots an actor in a bit part that looks like him. He becomes obsessed with finding out about this double of his. He learns that the actor's stage name is Daniel Saint Claire, whose legal name is Anthony Claire. Claire is a Toronto based actor with only a few on-screen credits, and is married to a woman named Helen who is currently several months pregnant. Adam then becomes obsessed with meeting Claire, who he learns upon first sighting that they look exactly the same, from the facial hair to a scar each has, but Claire who outwardly is more "put together" than Adam. Their lives become intertwined as Claire himself ends up becoming obsessed with Adam, but in a slightly different way.

- Are you seeing her?

- Helen, I don't want

to get into this.

- Are you

seeing her again?

- I think I'm gonna get

something to eat.

Let's go get something

to eat, and then

- I don't want to get anything.

- It was a man! It was a man!

What do you think it was?

A jealous husband?

- Yeah.

- I don't want

to get into this again, OK?

I don't want to get into this.

I'm going for a walk.

- Yes?

That's so strange.

I had a feeling

that you were gonna call.

- It's... it's... it's...

uh, uh, you know,

just a figure of speech;

it's not...

- OK.

No.

OK.

- Um...

well, see you...

see you soon.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- Is everything all right?

How many months are you?

- Um...

...six.

- That's nice.

I should be going. I have a

class I have to teach, you know.

Ah...

You never know

how your day's gonna turn out.

Have a nice day.

Hi.

It's a scorcher

out there.

The last 10 minutes of my run,

there was a 22-year-old kid

or something like that,

and he was...

he was following me

the whole time.

Ahh.

I'm never gonna

beat this kid.

And he dropped.

Do you think that I should

cut my beard off?

'Cause it's been hot.

Wait, and why'd you

call me earlier?

Were you calling me

for a reason?

Aww! Honey,

where are

the blueberries?

Where are

the blueberries?

I told you

like two days ago.

The organic blueberries, not

the conventional blueberries.

I can't use them

in the shoot.

What's wrong?

I was... I only say it

'cause I read in a magazine

that blueberries, the organic

blueberries are better...

You're gonna tell me

what's wrong?

- I...

I went to...

I went to see that guy.

- To who?

What are you talking about?

- The guy on the phone.

I went to his work.

- Why did you do that?

That's dangerous, honey.

- I wanted to know.

- Are you OK?

- He had

the same voice.

He looks

exactly like you.

- What do you mean

exactly like me?

- What's happening?

- I... I really don't know

what you're talking about.

- I think you know.

I think you know.

- Hello?

Huh.

I told you.

- Show me your hands, man.

- Why?

- Come on, show me your hands.

Maybe we're brothers.

- We're not... we're not

brothers... we're not brothers.

- How do you know?

Do you have a...

Do you have a scar on...

on your chest?

Like this one?

You do, don't you?

- I, uh...

- When's your birthday?

- This was a bad idea.

I think I made a mistake here.

Um...

I have...

I have this. I went to a

company that represents you,

and they gave that to me -

to you.

All right? I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- Don't worry, honey.

That guy won't be

calling here again.

F***.

- There must be

some difference.

- There isn't.

- You cannot be

exactly the same.

- We are.

- Did you

take your clothes off

in front of him?

- No.

- OK then.

You didn't eat.

The last thing you need is to be

meeting strange men in hotel rooms.

You have enough trouble sticking

with one woman, don't you?

Here.

- I don't like blueberries.

- Of course you do.

And they're good

for you.

I am going to pretend

I never heard a word

of what you just told me.

- I just wanted your advice.

- You don't want advice.

I don't want to hear

any more about this.

You are my only son.

I am your only mother.

You have a respectable job,

you have a nice apartment,

and since we're

being frank here,

I think you should quit that

fantasy being a third-rate

movie actor. Eat those.

You want some coffee?

- I have a question for you.

Did you f*** my wife?

Did you f*** my wife?

Did you sleep with my wife?

Did you f*** my wife?!

Did you f*** my wife?!

That's good.

That is f***ing good.

This is what's gonna happen.

You're gonna give me

your clothes and your car.

I'm gonna take your girlfriend

on a little romantic getaway.

And tomorrow I'm gonna

bring her home.

And I'm gonna

come back here...

bring back all your things,

and I'm gonna disappear

from your life forever.

And then I'll be gone.

- What are you doing here?

- What the f*** is this place,

man? You live here?

I have some questions for you.

- Please go, or I'll call the police.

- Well, go ahead.

Call the police.

What are you gonna tell them?

What are you

gonna tell them, man?

Why'd you come looking

for me?

- I don't... I don't know.

I don't know. I just...

I needed to know.

- Needed to know, yeah, OK,

but when you called my house,

you talked to my wife.

Why'd you do that?

- She happened

to pick up the phone.

OK, yeah, but...

Can I ask you something?

Just man to man?

Um...

Did you sleep with my wife?

- I don't know

what you're talking about.

- Did you f*** my wife?

- This is crazy.

- Just answer

the question, man.

Just answer

my f***ing question,

and then I will leave.

- You're f***ing crazy.

- All right.

I'm f***ing crazy?

I'M F***ING CRAZY?!

I'M F***ING CRAZY?!

You brought my wife

into this, man!

So I'm gonna bring your girlfriend

into the picture as well.

You want me out of your life?

This is what's gonna happen first.

You're gonna give me

your clothes and your car,

I'm gonna take your girlfriend

on a little romantic getaway.

I'm gonna bring her back home tomorrow,

and then I'm gonna come back here, and I'm

gonna bring back all your

stuff, and I'm going to

disappear from your life

forever. Then we will be even.

Mr. Claire.

Good afternoon.

Everything good?

- Yeah. I... I just, um...

...uh, forgot my keys.

- Is Mrs. Claire

not home?

Do you want me

to open the door for you?

- That would be

perfect, yeah.

- I can't stop thinking

about the other night.

Can't get it

out of my head.

I know I shouldn't

talk about this, but...

...I'd love to go back.

I heard they changed the

lock and sent out new keys,

but...

...I don't think

I'm on the list.

I need to go back.

- I mean... I'll see

what I can do.

I mean...

I don't know if that's

gonna be possible.

- Call me

if you hear anything.

After you.

OK, here you go, Mr. Claire.

- Thank you.

Hello?

- Anthony?

- Hi.

- The light's on.

You freaked me out.

- Sorry.

- What are you doing home?

I thought you were

at your mom's.

- Um, I, uh...

I cancelled it. I...

- You should have called.

I stayed longer

at the pool because...

'cause I thought

you weren't gonna be home.

- Uh... do you need

anything?

- I'm fine.

I'm gonna go to bed.

- 'K.

Are you sure you don't

n... need anything?

'Cause you... I...

When you came in and you said

that you went to the pool,

I just thought maybe that you'd been

there for a long time, and you...

had to walk home or whatever,

and- - Is everything OK?

- It's just, you're six months

pregnant, so I didn't know...

- No, I'm fine.

Why don't you come to bed?

- OK.

- Aren't you gonna

take your clothes off?

- Yeah.

- Did you have a good day

at school?

- What?

- Forget it.

- What? Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa! Mary, Mary, Mary.

Whoa, whoa.

What's wrong?

- The ring,

the mark on your finger.

- What are you

talking about?

José Saramago

José de Sousa Saramago, GColSE (Portuguese: [ʒuˈzɛ ðɨ ˈsozɐ sɐɾɐˈmaɣu]; 16 November 1922 – 18 June 2010), was a Portuguese writer and recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Literature. His works, some of which can be seen as allegories, commonly present subversive perspectives on historic events, emphasizing the theopoetic human factor. In 2003 Harold Bloom described Saramago as "the most gifted novelist alive in the world today" and in 2010 said he considers Saramago to be "a permanent part of the Western canon", while James Wood praises "the distinctive tone to his fiction because he narrates his novels as if he were someone both wise and ignorant."More than two million copies of Saramago's books have been sold in Portugal alone and his work has been translated into 25 languages. A proponent of libertarian communism, Saramago criticized institutions such as the Catholic Church, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. An atheist, he defended love as an instrument to improve the human condition. In 1992, the Government of Portugal under Prime Minister Aníbal Cavaco Silva ordered the removal of The Gospel According to Jesus Christ from the Aristeion Prize's shortlist, claiming the work was religiously offensive. Disheartened by this political censorship of his work, Saramago went into exile on the Spanish island of Lanzarote, upon which he resided until his death in 2010.Saramago was a founding member of the National Front for the Defense of Culture in Lisbon in 1992, and co-founder with Orhan Pamuk, of the European Writers' Parliament (EWP). more…
