Press quotes
“The scenes of one man and his clone have an eerie power that lingers long after the credits have rolled.”
« She crafted a slow-burning, philosophical science fiction drama that explores identity, class, and the commodification of life »
« The film’s visual design is meticulously crafted, reflecting the thematic coldness of its setting and subject. »
