Counterparts

Gargan, a tightrope walker, repeats a ceremonial act of self-mutilation as he travels across Europe in pursuit of an elusive Yugoslavian waitress. Meanwhile in Paris, Adam, an impoverished actor, is gradually bullied out of his identity. Like the wire that divides Gargan's vision, both men's lives drift between fantasy and reality, a process at once drawing them together and tearing them apart.
