In a world where genes dictate destiny, parents can select genetic traits to engineer the “perfect” offspring. Vincent, conceived naturally and labelled an “In-Valid”, is determined to travel to space. He purchases the identity of a genetically elite man, and meticulously maintains his disguise day after day to infiltrate the Gattaca Aerospace Corporation, which only recruits the genetically flawless.
But when a murder occurs just days before his mission, Vincent becomes the prime suspect, and his dream hangs in the balance. Gattaca compels us to ask: if technology predetermines human limits, can will hold the power to rewrite destiny?
