The One I Love is a 2014 romantic comedy-drama film directed by Charlie McDowell and written by Justin Lader. The film stars Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss as Ethan and Sophie, a couple who are struggling to save their marriage.
The beginning of the movie establishes that Ethan and Sophie have been married for several years but are now on the brink of separation. They visit a therapist who tells them to take a weekend away at a secluded vacation home that has been recommended to them by a friend.
The couple arrives at the house and finds it perfect in every way. However, soon after they settle in, they discover that there is a guest cottage on the property that they were not told about. The cottage is identical to the main house, right down to the furniture, but it is somehow connected to the house in an unusual way.
After some initial confusion, Ethan and Sophie realize that when one of them enters the cottage alone, they encounter an alternate version of their partner. The alternate versions seem to be ideal versions of their partners, without their flaws or quirks. However, once the couples swap partners, they realize that these 'ideal' versions of themselves come with their own hidden dark sides.
As the film progresses, Ethan and Sophie continue to explore the house and its mysteries while trying to figure out what it all means for their relationship. The One I Love is an engaging and thought-provoking film that blends elements of science fiction and romantic comedy in a unique way.
