Directed by Benedek Fliegauf, the film will open at cinemas on Friday 4th May, following a special preview on Tuesday 1st May at the Sci-Fi-London Film Festival.
Clone is set in a world where human cloning is possible and widely used. However these ‘copies’ are considered to be second-class citizens and although identical in every way are ostracised by the ‘originals’ in society.
The official synopsis reads: “Young Rebecca (Ruby O’Fee) and Tommy (Tristan Christopher) meet as children and strike up a friendship. There is an instant bond but all too soon Rebecca has to leave when her Mother gets a job in Tokyo. Fast-forward 12 years, and the grown-up Rebecca (Eva Green) returns to look for Tommy (Matt Smith). When she finds him, the mutual attraction is still there but a tragic accident soon cuts short their budding romance.
“Rather than accept that Tommy is gone, Rebecca decided to bring him back but the only way she can do it is to conceive and give birth to his genetic copy. As Tommy grows up, the mother/son relationship grows increasingly complex.
“Rebecca tries to keep his origins secret but how long will she be able to hide the truth? Can she protect him from prejudice against ‘copies’? How will she explain away the confusing urges that Tommy doesn’t understand? Chilling answers unravel as Rebecca deals with the consequences of her decision to never let go.”
