Blueprint
Sometime in the near future …
Years ago, the world famous pianist and composer Iris
Sellen was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Determined
not to let her musical talent die with her, she
convinced the ambitious scientist Dr. Fischer to produce
a clone of herself, her daughter Siri.
When Siri finds out at the age of thirteen that she is
her mother's clone, her whole world falls apart. The
once very close and sweet relationship between
mother and daughter turns into an emotional struggle.
They fight for the same man, compete with their
musical careers, and nearly pay with their lives.
In order to escape the disappointment of her own existence,
Siri later moves to Canada where she lives a
lonely life in the woods. But fate grants her the possibility
of release from her self-imposed isolation when
she meets Greg, a charming architect who brings love
back into Siri's life and even paves the way toward
reconciliation between mother and daughter.
