*A Double Life* is a deliciously dark comedy about a husband and wife whose different ideas of gender conformity lead to an unexpected confrontation.
The inspiration for the film came from the various television programmes on gender in the Netherlands. Programmes named *Gender Bender* and *Love me Gender* and *Geslacht!*, all dealing with the boundaries or non-boundaries of gender. At the same time the papers and magazines were filled with stories about gender confusion at the workplace; should a woman wear suits to be able to become one of the boys, and is lumber- jacking a good hobby to show you are still a man? With the changing ratio of men and women in the workplace, people were getting confused.
With *A Double Life* we wanted to show this confusion without giving our opinion. Whatever the viewer thinks is the message of the film, conveys something about their own opinion on gender.
