In a nightmarish future, the wealthy elite maintain The Circle, a stratum of society that can use technology for regeneration, although it's unclear if a person is regenerated into reality or if this New Life is a cyber world. Thomas Steiner is regenerated, thanks to his mother, and it seems her goal is for him to lose his homosexuality. He awakens from his regeneration with memories of Kazo, a man he loved. He goes in search of him. But, was Kazo ever real? And what will mother make of this son who leaves the safety of The Circle in search of something else?

Notes
I suspect that some sci-fi fans will like this film· I am not, however, a fan of this genre· This film confirms it· Almost totally unintelligible. Apparently about a mother who keeps remaking her son in a future society where such remakes are possible· He, however, apparently continues to retain a trait she would like to eliminate - his attraction to men· On the other hand, I may have it all wrong, since most of the time I did not have the foggiest notion of what is going on.
I have not located a streaming version with English Subtitles. Trailer is in French.
