A confusing encounter in downtown Tehran leaves a married couple convinced they’ve stumbled across their doubles living another life across the city. Taraneh Alidoosti and Navid Mohammadzadeh are the spouses at the center of the mystery, trying to make sense of what they saw and whether it can be explained away as coincidence. As they compare notes and follow small inconsistencies, everyday routines give way to suspicion, mistaken identity, and the unnerving possibility that someone else is moving through Tehran with their same faces and domestic life.
