Like a private investigator, he sets out to find who the man is and meet with him. Tertuliano Máximo Afonso watches a video recommended by a friend and discovers he has a double – a man who could be his identical twin, who looked and sounded exactly like Maximo did five years ago when the film was made.
Whether he likes it or not, clothes do indeed make the man.Ĭognition is a process of deciphering surrounding chaos… Life is cognition. The wheel was invented and stayed invented forever and ever, whereas words, those and all the others, came into the world with a vague, diffuse destiny, as highly provisional phonetic and morphological clusters, however much, thanks perhaps to the inherited glow of their glorious creation, they may insist on passing themselves off, not so much in their own right, but on behalf of the thing they variably mean and represent, as immortal, undying, or eternal, depending on the taste of the person doing the classifying.Īt last doubles manage to meet… Physically they are absolutely identical but their styles of living are utterly different… Thus the chase commences and the story turns into a sort of mystery, or rather into a postmodernistic mystery noir… While seeking his human replica the hero sagely contemplates the nature of knowledge and cognition… Tertuliano Máximo Afonso got up from the chair, knelt down in front of the television, his face as close to the screen as he could get it and still be able to see, It’s me, he said, and once more he felt the hairs on his body stand on end, what he was seeing wasn’t true, it couldn’t be, any sensible person who happened to be there would say reassuringly, Come off it, Tertuliano, I mean, he’s got a mustache, and you’re clean shaven.
The protagonist – a high school history teacher – watching some inane movie sees the actor who looks exactly like him and he becomes obsessed with the idea to find his double…
