Crazy Enough

In a world where fate splits at birth, identical twins grow up on opposite sides of the same line. Fred Mulberry has built a respectable career as a psychiatrist, navigating the pressures of a demanding practice, a political‑type boss, and a marriage that is gradually losing its spark. At home, his teenage daughter Rose and science‑obsessed son Freddie each reflect the ordinary chaos of suburban life, while his wife Lorna juggles her own ambitions. Across town, his brother Ted lives within the walls of a mental‑health facility, a place that has become both his refuge and his prison, and where a patient named Dolores shares his yearning for something beyond the routine.

When a professional obligation draws Fred to the facility to assess his long‑absent sibling, the thin veneer separating sanity from madness begins to tremble. A chance encounter and a series of oddly convenient mix‑ups set the stage for the twins to step into each other’s shoes, throwing both men into environments for which they are wildly unprepared. The switch forces Fred to confront the raw, unfiltered reality of institutional life, while Ted discovers the bewildering freedom—and alienation—of the outside world.

The film balances darkly comic moments with genuine emotional stakes, using a bright, slightly exaggerated visual style that underscores the absurdity of the situation without losing its human core. The juxtaposition of a polished psychiatric office against the stark corridors of the mental‑health wing creates a playful tension, inviting viewers to question where the line between “normal” and “crazy” truly lies. As the twins navigate their new identities, the story teases at deeper questions about family, perception, and the fragile constructs that hold our lives together, leaving the audience eager to see how each will adapt to the other’s world.
