Imagine if you suddenly found out that you had a doppelganger. His body, face, and voice are all identical. This is exactly what happened to Tertullian's history teacher Masim Afonso, who once found out that he had a doppelganger. One day, while watching a film, he recognizes himself in something else: one of the actors is an exact copy of him. After this unexpected discovery, Tertullian Masimo Afonso, who leads a lonely and boring life, decides to find this man. The events of this story unfold unpredictably — on the scales is the loss of identity in a society that cultivates personality and at the same time sets narrow standards of behavior and appearance. In the double, Juze Saramagu builds an outstanding fiction based on an extremely relevant and disturbing topic: the loss of identity in a globalized world.
