“Never Let Me Go” is a 2010 dystopian romantic drama movie directed by Mark Romanek, based on the novel of the same name by Kazuo Ishiguro. The movie stars Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield, and Keira Knightley.
In the movie, the story is set in an alternate history where human cloning is a common practice. The movie follows the lives of three friends, Kathy (played by Carey Mulligan), Ruth (played by Keira Knightley), and Tommy (played by Andrew Garfield), who grow up together in a secluded boarding school in England.
As they reach adulthood, the three friends begin to realize that their lives are not what they seem. They discover that they are clones, created solely for the purpose of donating their organs to “real” humans who need transplants. The friends struggle to come to terms with their fate, as they realize that they will eventually have to make the ultimate sacrifice for the people they were cloned to help.
As the three friends try to make the most of their short lives, they navigate the complex emotions of love, jealousy, and betrayal. Kathy, who is in love with Tommy, is torn between her feelings for him and her loyalty to her friend Ruth, who is also in love with Tommy.
