Do the memories define the man?

An astronaut dies on a mission, but never fear — he's got a clone, which has been imprinted with his memories. Unfortunately, the clone malfunctions, and fixates on a tragic memory from the dead astronaut's youth. The clone runs away to find answers and solace from his burdensome memories, much to the dismay of his wife and the clone company.

The Clone Returns Home is a profound meditation on the nature of identity.

"...the DVD presentation is nearly perfect... The Clone Returns Home is an early contender for the best film of 2011" -- DVD Talk

"This is the best film I’ve ever seen at Sundance" -- BitchinFilmReviews

"The Clone Returns Home is one of the most impressive dramatic films I've seen in a long time Absolutely stunning stuff, definitely recommended." -- TwitchFilm

"The Clone Returns Home is not just a Sci-Fi, it is a beautiful study of what makes us human" -- Anime Radius

"Deliberate and slow-paced like other similar sci-fi films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey or Tartakovsky’s Solaris, The Clone Returns Home uses technology as a setup to extra-ordinary ethical situations that reflect on all of humanity" -- Rock, Shock, Pop!

"This is the first time I've even seen a DVD cover with the following statement, 'Warning: Contains Significant Amounts of Philosophy'" -- Coffee, Coffee

"...proves that you don’t have to spend a fortune or blow a bunch of stuff up to have a compelling sci-fi film" -- About Heroes
