Description:

As the anticipation builds for Queen Elizabeth II's grand coronation ceremony in 1952, a striking coincidence emerges within the bustling streets of post-war England. Two individuals with uncannily similar appearances lead separate lives, unaware of their doppelgänger existence. One man is an upstanding police officer dedicated to maintaining law and order, while the other finds himself entangled in the dark underworld of crime, navigating a dangerous life of deception. Through overlapping narratives, the film delves into themes of identity, morality, and the duality of human nature. As England celebrates a new monarch, these two men must confront their own internal struggles and grapple with the consequences of their choices. Will their shared physical attributes ultimately serve as a bond or a barrier? The film masterfully unravels this intricate web of fate and circumstance amidst the backdrop of a nation on the precipice of change.
