Despite his success with Being John Malkovich, Charlie is plagued by self-doubt, sexual frustration, and the parasitic presence of his twin brother Donald.

With cameos from John Cusack, Catherine Keener, and Meryl Streep, this comedy-drama explores the absurdity of artistic expression and the messy human experience.
