About

Carl Naardlinger has spent most of his life answering questions. When your computer doesn't work - he is the man you call. Patient, intelligent and kind he is a voice in the interconnected ether - touching the lives of thousands of people he will never see, or meet. When he discovers on his birthday, that a man with the same name as his has gone missing and is presumed dead - Carl instinctively feels related to the stranger that bears his own name. Pam, his wife, is unnerved by a shocking coincidence of her own, when their annoying neighbour dies after she wishes it. It seems the Universe is playing a cruel joke on them both. Things get stranger when instead of finding the missing Carl Naardlinger, Carl finds his identical twin brother Don who happens to be in town for a conference.

Reviews

"It's very funny, and a fun reminder that the most important thing in life is to not take it too seriously."
Jason Watches Movies
"Katherine Schlemmer's sprightly directorial debut yields a queerly delightful comedy of coincidence which leads its characters and the audience on an odyssey into the very heart of what it means to be human..."
At the Movies with Greg Klymkiw
