Perfect Double
You Also May Like
The story of how a dementia man found his lost self with the love and help from his wife.
Set inside a brutalist museum after hours, three teenagers attempt a high-risk heist. Rendered in stark black-and-white noir, the film reframes theft not as crime, but as confrontation — a collision between institutional value and personal meaning. What makes something valuable? Scarcity? Protection? Naming? Or the simple act of deciding it matters? As walls protect what is deemed “priceless,” the film explores how value is constructed, who controls it, and how ownership reshapes belonging. In the dark, value becomes unstable. And sometimes what seems small holds everything that was missing.

Director Statement
Perfect Double takes the “digital double” as a starting point to explore the contemporary predicaments of social anxiety and identity recognition, embodying digital life in a tangible way—from the false comfort brought by the double to the identity crisis after it spirals out of control, and ultimately culminates in the protagonist being “erased” from reality.
