It's the story of a son or daughter of a king and queen, or, to comtemporize a bit, perhaps the parent is a financially successful businessman. Either way, the child is expected to follow in the parent's footsteps and enter the family business, be it running a kingdom or a business or whatnot. The child doesn't want to do this, instead, he/she wants to be free to live his/her own life and do what he/she wants to do.
Somehow, the child devises a way to create a copy of him or herself, or maybe there are two children to begin with, or perhaps there is a heretofore unknown twin like in The Parent Trap...
Either way, one child follows his/her heart, while the other follows the parent's wishes, and we see which one is happier by the story's end.
Or something like that.
Snappy title, though, huh?
