Never let me go by Kazuo Ishiguro

Una historia desasosegante, en un futuro en el que las enfermedades se han eliminado gracias a la clonación de seres humanos a los que se educa para estar orgullosos de su aportación al bienestar de los demás por lo que no se rebelan ni intentan huir de su doloroso destino, al que llaman "completarse", después de varias operaciones sucesivas para otros tantos trasplantes. Hace pensar en Blade Runner o en Farenheit 45 a pesar del idílico entorno rural en el que vemos crecer a los tres jóvenes protagonistas de este terrible y hermoso relato donde les veremos vivir historias de amor, traiciones, amistad, falsas esperanzas, miedo, tristeza , intentos de reparar el daño que se ha hecho... In his highly acclaimed novel Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro (The Remains of the Day) created a remarkable story of love, loss and hidden truths. In it he posed the fundamental question: What makes us human? Now director Mark Romanek (ONE HOUR PHOTO), writer Alex Garland and DNA Films bring Ishiguro's hauntingly poignant and emotional story to the screen. Kathy (Oscar® nominee Carey Mulligan, AN EDUCATION), Tommy (Andrew Garfield, BOY A, RED RIDING) and Ruth (Oscar® nominee Keira Knightley, PRIDE & PREJUDICE, ATONEMENT) live in a world and a time that feel familiar to us, but are not quite like anything we know. They spend their childhood at Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic English boarding school. When they leave the shelter of the school and the terrible truth of their fate is revealed to them, they must also confront the deep feelings of love, jealousy and betrayal that threaten to pull them apart.
