How did this film get to my online disk, I forgot, but when I saw the name "Joining the New Self", I thought it was a growth film about how to break through myself, so I kept putting it on... The day before yesterday, I wanted to sort out the online disk. , Well, let's see what kind of film this is, and decide whether to delete it or not, so I started watching it before I saw any introduction.

Unexpectedly, very interesting.

Miles is a decadent middle-aged man. His work has not improved. Five years ago, he won an industry award - Goldfinger. After that, he did not achieve anything for a long time, and his family life became boring. Every day, he and his wife Kate They all looked at their mobile phones and didn't have a happy communication. They wanted to have children but they never succeeded, and they kept avoiding being a test-tube baby.

In a company meeting, a colleague who was also decadent suddenly became energetic and was told that it was the credit of a spa.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally took out 50,000 dollars to go to the spa to drive away his decadent self and make himself full of vitality again.

Sure enough, when I woke up in the spa, I felt new from head to toe. After I went out, the air outside was sweet, the corn in the farmland was so fragrant, and the work of the company became fascinating, and I stopped talking at the meeting.” I'm not ready", instead gushing out very creative proposals. When I get home at night, I can happily give Kate a surprise - pumpkin stewed apples. The two chatted happily for a long time.

However, in a suburban cemetery dozens of kilometers away, a man tore the plastic wrapping him and emerged from the ground. It was a man who looked exactly like Miles. He was wearing diapers and walked for 6 hours. When I got home, I found that there was someone who looked exactly like me.

It turned out that the spa was a cloning institution. When a better "me" was cloned, it would destroy the original "me", but this time an accident prevented the original "me" from dying, so it was able to climb out of the cemetery. of that scene.

The old "me" is not good enough, the new "me" is good enough. In the rest of the story, the new "me" is particularly good at work and full of love in the family... Kate finally got very angry after learning about the existence of clones, thinking that Miles had done a good job A particularly unthinkable thing that drove the new Miles out of the house. In the end, however, preferring to be with the new Miles.

The final story ends Kate is pregnant and doesn't know who the baby is. And it will soon be undetectable, because the old and new Miles have the exact same DNA.

    New miles said the most painful thing is to have your memories but not your life, to clone everything but not to have real feelings. The heroine said that you are too perfect to make it seem that everything is wrong. What she wants is the person who will accompany her through everything. The process of reconciling with yourself is really hard! I like to tell stories from different perspectives. Paul is really good at acting! Just want to say WTF in the finale! Still looking forward to seeing if there is a second season
