Life is like a box of timelines

Opens to dual music, dual bathrooms and mirrored action between Nadia and Alan. The mirrors and people return, so too Alan's ring and goldfish. Clearly something has changed about this resurrection involving duality.

We quickly learn there are now dichotomous timelines. Having slain the Minotaur of time and must both become Ariadne to help the other's Theseus escape the Labyrinth. Together they are trapped by the horns of duality; Nadia must escape fear (mother's death), and Alan love ( hopelessness relationship).

A well-rounded closure with props to Natasha Lyonne who wrote, directed and starred in this - nearly as narcissistic as her character ;-)
