Product Details

Description

Patrizia and Bruno are a couple of bio-technicians who, thanks to the collaboration of their brilliant colleague Milton, have succeeded in creating a living clone of a human being, which they are trying to bring to market. The unique selling point of their product is that it can feel pain, but is able to recover immediately after any injury. The clone, named Justine, is a copy of Patrizia. Justine must never look into a mirror, because she isn’t allowed to learn that she is only Patrizia’s copy. Milton teaches Justine how to speak and communicate, and as she becomes more and more a rounded human being, both Bruno and Milton fall in love with her.
Bruno wants to start a new life with Justine and escapes with Milton’s production plans, so that he may reproduce Justine anywhere. However, this sparks a series of consequences that will increasingly spiral out of hand.
