Populace imagines a world where the solution is to impose a strict genetic caste system, a eugenics policy that keeps numbers below the tipping point and protects the greater good. Clones are manufactured to carry out this work. Must we give away our freedoms to protect the earth from mankind?

provocative

A provocative theme - eugenics. A realistic portrait of dictatorship. And a great portrait of parenthood . Delicate sketch of freedom and a subject more than delicate used in inspired manner. A short film precious for the status of warning or, more exactly, for the precise image of a too realistic future.

Beehive

This breaks the cardinal rule. They have created a society where there is no hope for the heroic. At no point does the man who has been arrested have even a remote opportunity to save himself or ever see his wife again. And it ends. Not much chance to root for anyone.

Quotes
John: Eugenics is wrong. We live in a genetic caste system.
Clone Leader: All needs are met. What's wrong with that?
John: It's what we do when they aren't met... makes us human
Clone Leader: Needs are infinite, John. Resources are finite.
John: Ours were only natural.
Clone Leader: Man's need to exhaust the resources of his natural environment are distinctly unnatural, John. Wouldn't you say? Other species that have outgrown their natural boundaries are dismissed as pests. Their numbers must be controlled. We are no different. We need to take measures as merciless as nature in order to survive on this planet. We were trying to protect you, John. You must see that.
