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.

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

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…
