Synopsis : Rene is an artist. His studio is set up in a disused dance hall and he lives on the premises with his boyfriend. Life swims
along nicely, only he seems to be “coming down with something” – such is the expression used. It’s not that he feels sick exactly,
more that he is getting distinctly oversensitive.Things pop into his mind and then won't leave. Like that picture of two spooky clowns
seen in a magazine. Hard work and play make no difference at all. The image
becomes an idée fixe and with every passing day Rene is increasingly tormented by obsessions that, in his rational mind, he rejects.
Until one fine day his world goes off the rails as he finds himself face to face with a doppelganger.
