About the text:
  Set in the future, Gattaca is about how life might be if we use genetic engineering to control how we want future children to be. The main character, Vincent, is a naturally created man who lives in a perfect, controlled world. He dreams of going into space, and the only way of doing this is if he pretends to be someone else.
