the state of the cycle

After reading it, I also read other people's reviews, and I will give my opinion. The story I understand is this, the protagonist Adam is a history teacher who lives with his wife. Later, driven by desire (as reflected in the opening show), I had the idea of ​​becoming an actor. Anthony appeared as the incarnation of a negative personality, went to a few cameo movies, and found a girlfriend to cheat on. But after learning that his wife was pregnant and his mother's persuasion started a conflict between the two personalities, he began to return to school as a teacher for six months. Then the positive personality Adam defeated the negative personality Anthony, was forgiven by his wife, and returned to his wife. But when he saw the key inside the envelope, his desire was aroused again, and he might enter the next cycle. Maybe what the director wants to show is this kind of normality -> desire -> derailment -> struggle -> return to normal, such a state of constant cycle that everyone encounters.
