Homesickness of a clone

Like a sci-fi version of Truman's world. But Trumen on the moon doesn't even have a home and doesn't know where to go.
A robot, an astronaut, and several rovers to develop new energy on the desolate moon. In the entire film, there is no biologically original person, at most sound or video. Only robots and clones, folks. The film discusses an ethical issue in a sci-fi setting.
The newly awakened Sam is quicker to accept the truth, while Sam, who was ready and excited to go home, is reluctant to face the fact that he is a clone. After all, it's all too real. The photos of his wife and children, the model he spent more than 900 hours on, and he will be back to Earth in two weeks. If it's all fake, he won't know what to do with himself. Until they discovered the secret, old Sam saw the "daughter" in the real world, the real people living on earth were dying, no one knew who he was and what he was doing. He inherited Sam's work, memories, and feelings. He also misses home and wants to go home, but what can he do after the truth is revealed, he has no home.
The conscientious robot helped Sam see the images of those former seniors. He asked why you helped me. The robot said I just wanted to help you. Behind the rigid and strict procedures, there is a hint of warmth. The bot said I could reboot to erase my previous memory. So the new Sam went home, although it wasn't technically his home either. Humans create programs, plan everything, as if to create perfect substitutes that have no emotions but work like humans. But ironically, their product isn't just a machine. In contrast to such a simple robot, the human beings known as emotional animals appear much colder.
The ending is still the old-fashioned evil company collapse. But the process is good enough.
