Logline
Like THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE, which opened FILMFEST MÜNCHEN in 2019, Riley Stearns’ latest film skillfully hits the mark between violence and humor, this time with an outrageous sci-fi twist.
Diagnosed with a terminal illness, Sara has herself cloned in order to spare her family the pain of her loss. She trains her clone to express the same feelings and reactions as she does. When she miraculously recovers, her attempts to disable her clone fail, leading to a court-ordered duel to the death. Only one may survive!
This film is part of the focus BODY HORROR. All other films can be found here.
