Plot summary
Latif Yahia is serving in the Iraqi army when he is called to Saddam Hussein's palace and asked to become the fedai, a body double, for the president's son Uday. The two men knew each other at school, where people remarked on their likeness. Latif turns the request down, so Uday has him jailed and tortured. Only a threat to his family makes him relent. Cosmetic surgery brings his face closer to Uday's, and he practices copying Uday's manners and mannerisms. He keeps his distance from Uday's partying and erratic behavior, and once flees a nightclub hoping to reach his family, who believe he died in the war.
