Factual errors: About halfway through the movie, the scientist is using a microscope to watch cells multiply. When the cells split apart they make a noise, and the electrical activity makes noise as well, though it is all at a microscopic level. more

I got this title on Video CD without any prior information on it. I didn't even know what genre it was. After seeing it it's one of my favorites!
The plot evolves very subtly for about the first half. Then through some fluid storytelling it all changes into a sci-fi mystery. Beautifully shot and very good acting. Almost dreamlike settings mix with harsh laboratory milieus. This contrast is in parallel with the story that first evolves around the love of life and later the sorrow of death and some really weird consequences.
If you get the chance to see it and you like romantic thrillers this is one for you.
