[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Harry Wolper (played by O'Toole) is a Nobel prize laureate in biology, obsessed by the possibility to clone his beloved late wife Lucy. Helped by the student Boris Lafkin (Spano) and an eccentric egg-donor girl, Meli (Hemingway), Dr. Wolper finally succeeds in the cloning process, but the events leading to this achievement create strong bonds between himself and Meli, and also between Spano and his schoolmate Barbara. In the end, Harry realizes that he is in love with Meli, and interrupts the cloning process dropping the last cells of Lucy into the sea.
