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.

Your voice is just like mine.

Just listen, OK? Just hear me out. I know this

sounds crazy Im sorry I got excited before.

When I get excited, I just act a little

strange, so just hear me out for a second.

three of your movies,

and... and... and you're

great, you're great in...

We look exactly alike.

And I called your wife

earlier today,

and she said that she thought

that it... that I was you,

and... I'm just... I'm just...

I'm just... I'm confused.

And I know this call must be

just as confusing for you

as it is for me,

and I... I just...

My name is Adam Bell.

I'm a history teacher,

and I just think

that we should meet.

meet up or something.

What?

- Mm-hmm.

with me.

That's who was

on the phone.

I told you that.

Why would I tell you

any differently?

- You're acting crazy.

- I'm not crazy.

Who was on the phone?

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.

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...

the whole time.

Ahh.

I'm never gonna

beat this kid.

And he dropped.

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…
