I found this movie on Netflix streaming. About 90 minutes long, the first half sets up the premise and introduces us to all the key characters, the second half delves into the choices and changes and how the various players deal with it.
This is not a movie for action junkies, it is told rather deliberately and takes the time to let concepts sink in. Time for a viewer to think "What would I do here?"
Jacqueline Kim, also producer and co-writer, is Gwen. She has a successful career in this 22nd century big city setting, but as she nears 50 and still looking good, her employer decides they want a younger image as a spokesperson. Money and jobs are tight, and with a daughter going into middle school, she can't afford to be out of work.
Her daughter is played by Samantha Kim, probably no relation in real life, as Jules. Jules is a bright and well-adjusted child, she and her mother have a very close mother-daughter bond.
The company Gwen works for has developed a new technology to allow aging people to transfer their thoughts and identity to a new, younger body. Gwen can have this procedure, to regain her young looks and continue on. But this might not sit well with Jules, and that is part of her dilemma.
The story plays out nicely, hardly a false move. The cast are all good and to me young actress Samantha Kim sort of steals the show. She is very good in her role.
Good movie for anyone who appreciates a good story that develops deliberately.
