What would you do if you ran into your perfect double – somebody who looks exactly like you? That is just the starting point for this supernatural thriller that explores the duality of nature, and the conflict that arises when we cannot come to terms with both sides of our personalities. Shortly after being told that if you encounter your exact counterpart… your “doppelgänger,” you will die, meek scientist Michio Hayasaki (Koji Yakusho) comes face to face with his own. At first he is able to ignore him, but the doppelgänger becomes more and more insistent, until he has no choice but to deal with him. Despite being physically identical, they are frighteningly opposite in nature – where Michio is quiet and reserved, the new arrival is confident, aggressive, and unbound by social conventions. The two learn to co-exist until Michio’s life starts heading into a downward spiral.
