The Clone

Synopsis

In Morocco, Brazilian teenager Lucas Ferraz falls for Jade, a young Muslim woman promised to another man, and their love is blocked by family, faith and custom. Back in Rio, Lucas’s twin brother Diogo dies in an accident, devastating their godfather Albieri, a geneticist who secretly uses Lucas’s cells to create a human clone, carried by an unsuspecting surrogate. Twenty years later the lovers meet again, both trapped in unhappy marriages, just as the grown clone, Léo, walks into their lives asking who he is. The story weaves the romance together with drug addiction, Islamic culture and the ethics of playing God.
