Keira Knightly stars in this movie about a group of children who are being raised for a peculiar purpose: to be organ donors. Its the future, and humans now live for well over 100 yrs of age, longer than that, because of organ transplants. these children are clones of people who are considered outcasts, such as prostitutes, drug addicts, criminals - i guess having a double of people like this would lead to fewer complications. but something is missing: these children are cloned so they are not exactly a copy of the original person - something is missing from their brains, i guess you could say, a soul, feelings, love. the rumor is, if two of them fall in love, real love, they can get a reprieve from being a donor. at a mature age (18 i guess) their bodies are "farmed" until they die. Three operations is about it, four max before their own bodies no longer function, nothing left to take out. But if they fall in love, they may get a few more years. It gets more complicated - there are questions about what it means to be human, what it means to have a soul, and who is truly human. are the humans who created these clones superior? or are they the real mutants? Who really has a soul? This is a fascinating movie, very philosophical, but i warn you, very very sad, heartbreaking.
