Only life cannot be copied

There is probably no second person in the world who loves Tommy so much. Even if he left the Nordic island to study in a prosperous city, he finally returned to the island, with civilization and advancement, just to find the lover he identified as a child.
Rebecca is not only in love with Tommy, but also infatuated. She accepts his marching plans, his cockroach scare plan, his participation in environmental protests as an activist—though she thinks it's ridiculous, Tommy's behavior is still like an underage child, given her knowledge structure and vision.
However, that doesn't stop her from loving him, supporting him unconditionally, listening and respecting him.
Likewise, Tommy had been waiting for years for Rebecca to come back. His life is alive because of her, and his love is sincere because of her. There was no quarrel or betrayal, they were so in love from beginning to end.
----- Until that car accident.
For Tommy's death, there is no rendering in the film, and even Rebecca's tears are just forbearing. The large sea is quiet and deep, and the empty and lonely islands have not changed.
When the sun rises again, Rebecca finds Tommy's parents, hoping to use technology to clone Tommy. Although suffering the pain of bereavement, the elders are still rational. God brought him and took him away, his life was complete after all.
However, Rebecca finally used black technology to asexually give birth to clone Tommy. She missed him too much to extricate herself.
So Tommy grew up alone. Human clones are products that go against ethics and human nature. They cannot have friends and cannot fully understand the world. And when he was young, he didn't understand why his peers avoided him, and why his family was always shrouded in sorrow.
The director is not satisfied with this cruelty.
Tommy grows up, but has his own love - clones can copy appearance, genes, but not memory and life.
Before cloning, Rebecca should have known, but she chose to gamble, paranoid to let her lover be reborn in another way.
If you find yourself born just to replace another person. If the life you have had is artificial, your mother is your girlfriend who died.
It was like a long and desperate dream. I don't know when to wake up, and when I wake up, I don't know where to go.
Tommy decided to leave the house, however he couldn't express any emotion other than thanks.
How should Rebecca be called, what emotion should I use, and what will my life be like? He doesn't know anything, he has no answers except to go and be alone.
Love may be common, memory, and letting go. Stay together when we are together, and remember the past when we are apart. And more importantly, know how to let go when you leave.
If Rebecca knows how to let go and accept the news of her lover's death, then time will eventually dilute the pain, her lover will always live in the memory, and every frame is a fixed frame of unswerving love.
However, he came to Earth in another identity after all. The same appearance, temper, character, growth process. Maybe that little change was fatal to her:
he didn't love her and would never love her again.
