In the picture “Time” (2011) tells of a future in which humanity has found the opportunity to live forever. Now people are genetically born such that the aging of their body stops after 25 years.
In this reality, time has become the only currency that every person is trying to get at all costs in order not to die.
Each person has a concept of the time at his disposal thanks to a special clock implanted on his left hand, counting minutes in the opposite direction.
The rich and the poor differ from each other only in the supply of precious time. And oddly enough, even having found a peculiar way to defeat death, people could not overcome deceit, cruelty and social injustice.
For fans of science fiction films that deal with a dystopian future, we have compiled a selection of ten films similar to “Time”.

Therefore, “donors” are found in the past from those who will die “by themselves”, and will do it in such a way that his body will not be found (a strong fire, an explosion, etc.).
