Duration:

The documentary Doppelganger tells the story of the transformation of the outstanding Ukrainian actor Oleksii Bogdanovych into a master's student at a theater institute. The war, which destroyed the illusion of the superiority of art, provoked the actor to a total reassessment of values and made him think about the true meaning of life. What are art and culture and what is their true role if they do not influence the mentality of those who brought evil and death to our country? What will the fame, rewards and success be like when you get off the pedestal?
