DOPPELGÄNGER. THE DOUBLE

(Doppelgänger. Sobowtór)

It is a suspense-filled psychological drama with elements of a thriller and a spy movie. A film inspired
by the true story of a special agent of Cold-War Poland who posed as the son of a German woman to
build false family relations and launch a successful espionage career. A story of how big-world politics
can devastate the lives of ordinary people. A historical tale from the 1970s and 80s, in the style of the
Oscar-winning “The Lives of Others.” A film about a man steeped in inner conflict, driven by love to
try to turn back from a path of no return. He sows destruction instead of love, but as an agent he is
impeccable. The movie is also a dark psychological tale about human tragedies and innocent victims
of a ruthless spy operation, about the consequences of living a lie, and about love that offers hope
for redemption – about the relentless pursuit of the truth and the utmost price that it entails.
