Description: "'I have a strange feeling ... I'm not alone in the world,' muses Weronika, a young Polish singer gifted with an extraordinarily beautiful voice.
In France, a music teacher and aspiring singer named Véronique is similarly moved, sensing that somewhere there exists another person with which her life is intertwined. Born on the same day, both women are identical in age and appearance, sharing the same talents and delicate health.
One day, looking through some photos taken during her school trip to Cracow, Véronique finds a picture of a sad, lone figure in a city street. It is Weronika, her life double. Starring acclaimed actress Irène Jacob in the roles of Weronika and Véronique, The Double Life of Veronique is a deeply moving film, resonant with the complexities and wonders of life."
