Alex, a man in his forties, leads a rather uneventful life, only occasionally enlivened by erotic role-playing games with his wife. Things change when a new neighbor, Axel, moves in – a man who looks almost exactly like him, despite Alex's receding hairline. THE BETTER ME by French filmmaking duo Nicolas & Bruno delivers a meticulously crafted surrealist comedy that feels like a darkly twisted take on THE TRUMAN SHOW.
