The imitator lies somewhere between fiction and documentary film. It’s the story of a short incursion by two “mentally handicapped” people into the world of the “normal”. Jacques and Jean get lost in a town. Jacques is a 29 old Mongol. He has a sense of humour, is a born impersonator and imitates the people around him, which gives him the impression of fitting in everywhere. Laurel and Hardy of the technological age, they make us question our traditions, our values, our security and our clear conscience.
