Jerome, a former swimming star with a genetic profile "second to none", who had been injured in a car accident, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down, listens the problem that Vincent has and helps him. Vincent uses Jerome DNA in blood, hair, tissue, and urine samples to pass screening. After several difficulties the struggle to pass Vincent achieves going to space and Jerome commits suicide leaving him a lot of blood and tissues as if he had 2 lives. This movie has a very good message because it makes you realize that when you want something and you fight for it like Vincent did you can achieve whatever goal you want. Besides, for me the movie has really good special effects despite the time it was made like when he puts blood in his fingerprint.

The characters however are both greedy, for Mr. Peters demanded three wishes from the swan after he saved it. Mr. White took the paw out of the fire after he was warned solely for the three wishes the paw granted.

When Ivan and his gang throw Nelson into the pit and throw the scorpions onto him, although Robert does not full take part in the bullying, he is a bystander
