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 James Bond of Cold-War in Poland who, under an assumed identity posing as the son of a German woman, managed to build false family relations and launch a successful espionage career. A story of how big-world politics affects 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, who driven by love, tries to turn back from a path of no return. Instead of love he sows destruction, but as an agent he is impeccable. Doppelgänger is not only a record of the operations of a communist intelligence agent that destroy many people’s lives. The movie is also a dark psychological tale about human relations and emotions. A story of strength, perseverance, hope and faith in justice. It is also a story about seeking the truth, searching for one’s own identity and being forced to find oneself in a new reality.
