The Clone Returns Home Page #3

Synopsis: The Clone Returns Home is a compelling meditation on the paradox of life and death, and the meaning of love and family. Set in an imaginary - yet utterly imaginable - future, this quietly provocative film skillfully transposes complex emotional drama into the realm of science fiction by exploring the influence of technology on human memory and experience. Filled with stunning imagery and haunting stillness, The Clone Returns Home deftly combines subtly nuanced sci-fi with a uniquely Japanese perspective on the universal themes of family, life, love, and death.

who wants out of here, right?

It's not a bad trade-off.

Or should I leave you?

Finally we have a legal subject

that answers all requirements.

If this succeeds as the world's

first legal human clone...

he'll probably be the biotech Gagarin.

Gagarin wasn't the first in space.

The records of those who

didn't make it back were erased.

He succeeded so he's said to be the first.

I see.

So like Gagarin...

here's a chance to clear your name.

That's how you see it, eh?

Let's be brief, Doc.

You illegally recreated your dead

granddaughter before.

Your clone had no

memory malfunctions.

Why was that?

You rip the brain's memories and...

love arranging them like

a jigsaw puzzle but...

human memory isn't that simple.

If bad memories they tried

to forget are dug up...

memory regression is unavoidable.

If you know so much, provide us with

your memory control data program.

In exchange, I'll take responsibility

in ending your confinement.

Would you agree to this?

Under one condition.

Our cooperation should be enough -

I accept the deal.

You'll get the data.

But I want to know

what lies beyond.

Let me meet the clone

after its regeneration.

I want to check something.

Resonance?

What is resonance?

What echoes?

If dead persons...

learn they're still alive...

can their soul reach Nirvana?

What on God's Earth

are you talking about?

Extracting the memory

and exposing of the corpse...

won't erase the scars on the soul.

The aimlessly wandering soul...

is drawn near the clone and...

haunts him like a guardian spirit.

Ridiculous!

Enough of your occult hypotheses...

You plundered my granddaughter...

and murdered her with your tinkering!

Stop bringing up that same old story!

Her death was an accident.

Besides, her recreation was illegal and...

there fore her death can't

be considered as murder at all.

You made an error by not considering

the soul's resonance.

If she'd lived, I'd have solved

the enigma of resonance!

What did you learn

while I've been your prisoner?

How pathetic.

You think that science is toying

only with cells and machines.

But the cloning of human beings is beyond

the realm of current technology.

Why can't you see that?

Noboru.

Mommy...

Noboru's...

If he cries, ripen him sweetly

Bodhisattvas at the village crossroads

please laugh if he cries

Sleep fast in the moonless night

Don't let the God of the mountain take him

Hey.

What? Where'd you come from?

Anyway... put this on.

You'll catch a cold.

Th...

Thank you.

Are you a foreigner?

With that baggage and outfit...

just where are you headed?

Home... going home.

Hello.

I think he wandered from a hospital.

No, a mental hospital.
