THE DOUBLE

by Richard Ayoade

synopsis

The story of office drone Simon James who has all the personality of a sheet of blank paper. Most of his co-workers, including the object of his affections Hannah, don’t even remember his name. Matters come to a head when his doppelganger James Simon joins the company. James is as socially adept as Simon is inept and he is a rapid social and corporate climber who thinks nothing of exploiting his lookalike in every manner possible, including worming his way into Hannah’s heart and bed. Simon must now find a way around his double and reclaim his own life.
