Kohei Takahara, an astronaut who dies in the line of duty, is legally resurrected as a clone: however, contrary to the scientist's expectations, he reverts to his childhood memories when his twin brother drowned sacrificing his life for Kohei.
The Clone Returns Home is a thought-provoking, light sci-fi story that explores the right and wrongs of cloning, but above all it's a tale of two brothers that never got to grow up together. It has a relatively small cast, but makes up for it with great performances and some really, really lovely cinematography. There's a handful of scenes that was a pure joy to watch, and along with the beautiful music those moments really struck a chord with me. The scene where a human body is being grown and is viewed like from an X-ray was one of my favorites. All in all, just a lot of visual candy in this film.
Maybe you know by now if you're interested or not in seeing this movie, but I urge you too give it a chance. It may have a bit of a slow tempo, but it's worth it all the way.
Genre: Drama/Sci-Fi
