Protagonist
Berlin, in an alternative present. Rora drifts through a lifeless routine as a corporate consultant: printing, sipping instant coffee, having sex. After reaching a tipping point, she takes mental health leave and is replaced by a double. As the double’s performance of Rora’s life slips from precision into obsession, a strange bond forms between them.
