What happens

El Clon (lit. 'The Clone') is a Spanish-language telenovela released in 2010, produced by the U.S.-based television network Telemundo, the Colombian TV production house RTI Televisión and the Brazilian network Globo. It is a remake of O Clone, a Brazilian telenovela that originally aired on Globo in 2001 and on Telemundo in 2002. This limited run melodrama, which starred Mauricio Ochmann and Sandra Echeverría, deals with topics such as drug trafficking, cloning and Islam. Telemundo executive Mark Santana called El Clon "the most ambitious telenovela in the history of television". This melodrama features a love triangle featuring Lucas, a handsome hero, challenging his clone for the love of an enticing, exotic woman. Lucas is young when he falls for a young Arab girl named Jade. She is caught between modern values and her Islamic upbringing. They separate and two decades pass. Then a strange turn of luck brings the pair together. Then Jade meets the clone, who is just like Lucas, but twenty years younger. She must choose between the man she loved and the memory she cherishes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
