The Secret

The Secret (Si j'étais toi, 2007) is a Canadian drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Vincent Perez and starring David Duchovny, Olivia Thirlby, and Lily Taylor. A mother and teenage daughter have the usual friction — nothing unusual, until a car crash on the way home changes everything. The mother dies in hospital. Except she doesn't, not entirely.

Her consciousness transfers into her daughter Sam's body, leaving Ben — Duchovny's character — to process the impossible: his wife is alive, but she is also his daughter. Perez treats the premise as emotional drama rather than genre exercise, which is both the film's strength and its challenge. The supernatural logic stays deliberately vague.
