Double Take reimagines a striking and unsettling encounter, drawing its core premise from Jorge Luis Borges’ tale in 25th August, 1983. Set against the backdrop of a famous director’s daily grind, the narrative unfolds on the set of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1962 film The Birds. During a brief twelve‑minute break, Hitchcock steps away to take a phone call inside a Universal Studios building, where a sequence of eerie, almost ritual-like moments begins to unfold.
