The Double Life of Véronique (La Double Vie de Véronique) was the movie that, after the revelation of Dekalog, most contributed for Kieslowski's international recognition. As the title indicates, it is built under the sign of the double: two heroines, two nationalities, two ways of life. Two young women, one Polish and the other French, born on the same day, are like the “projection” of each other, and the tragic fate of one will be reflected on her double. The puppeteer and sculptor Bruce Schwartz was responsible for the construction and manipulation of the puppets.
