Summary
Two women, complete strangers, are strangely linked to each other in this film that ponders the nature of intuition and the metaphysical connections between people. Weronika is a deeply spiritual Polish soprano and her double is Véronique, a more earthy French music teacher. Each senses the other and is affected by each other's experiences, though they have no conscious knowledge of a double's existence
