In both the three protagonists have the same names and, at the behest of the author, are interpreted by the same actors, to emphasize that the characters of a story are the shadows of those of the other.

At first glance the two stories seem to have nothing in common, apart from the names of the characters. But as you go through the two events, you discover references and problems that have a lot in common. In both 1958 and 2015 London, the actions they will take Philip, Oliver and Sylvia in the past, they will influence and explain what will happen in 2015.
