About “The Double”

A divorced, depressed history teacher becomes obsessed with a man who looks exactly like he did five years earlier after seeing him in a video recommended by a friend. The teacher, struggling with personal loss and emotional turmoil, fixates on the man, believing he has found a version of himself from the past. His pursuit leads to a deep psychological and emotional journey, as he confronts his own identity and the passage of time. The story explores themes of self-perception, memory, and the search for meaning in personal decline.
