''Life in a Day'', originally titled ''Antidote'', is a 1999 film about a baby rapidly aging due to a failed cell-accelerating experiment. ==Plot== Dr. Peter Hamilton works for Concord University under Dr. Leo Sardis and Dr. Carla Jennings, and has developed a serum called AccelRate. Mark Stratton, his assistant, steals a sample and injects it into the pregnant Tina Hogan. The unborn baby grows rapidly and explodes from Tina, killing her. A murder investigation, led by Chief Max Reed and Detective Ed Carlisle is soon launched, Mark becoming the primary suspect. Peter finds the baby at his home/lab. Assisted by Charlotte "Charlie" Tanzi, he studies her as she grows from infancy to adulthood within 2 days, and names her Jasmine. Peter gets phoned by the fugitive Mark, borrows Charlie's car to confront him, and demands his help with saving Jasmine. Mark reveals that Leo ordered him to conduct the experiment resulting in Tina's death, having been promised that he would be set for life. Mark tells Peter to take his notes and leave, and fatally shoots himself. A landlady sees Peter departing immediately afterward. Meanwhile, Jasmine begins developing feelings for Peter, and sneaks away to explore the outside world. Peter returns to the lab, leaves Charlie with Mark's notes, and goes out to find Jasmine. He succeeds; Jasmine tells him she wanted to look pretty for him. Back at the lab, Peter injects Jasmine with an experimental governing agent, earlier tested on one of his rabbits; their feelings for each other deepen. The next day, Jasmine awakens still looking youthful. She joyfully urges Peter to go out and experience life with her; Charlie offers to stay behind to continue the lab work. Later, Charlie notices that the rabbit injected with the governing agent has died. While Peter and Jasmine are at a conservatory, Peter notices a streak of white in Jasmine's hair, and decides that they should return to the lab. Meanwhile, Charlie is confronted by Max and Ed. Max opens a drawer to discover Tina's blood-stained scarf, deepening their suspicion of Charlie and Peter. Peter and Jasmine return to see Charlie being taken into custody, and enter the lab through a back entrance to evade police attention. Peter decides that he and Jasmine need to continue work elsewhere; as they pack, Jasmine notices the dead rabbit. Peter confirms that his governing agent only slowed down her aging. Meanwhile, Charlie reveals that Jasmine is Mark and Tina's child, and mentions the video footage used to track her development. Ed doesn't believe Charlie; Max departs to find the footage. Peter and Jasmine arrive at a lab that he previously shared with Leo, so that he can gather materials for a functional governing agent. Jasmine looks in a mirror, shocked by her older-looking face. As Peter unsuccessfully attempts to open a cabinet containing a governing agent, Leo enters, alerted by a security breach alarm. He insists that the governing agent doesn't work; as Peter pleads with him, the police arrive, looking for Peter. Peter shoves Leo and escapes with Jasmine through a back exit; he tells Jasmine to wait for him at the conservatory while he retrieves the governing agent. Peter is caught and arrested. While interrogated by Ed, Peter attempts to escape from the police station, but is stopped by Max, who demands the truth: Carla confesses that she went along with Leo's orders to conduct the AccelRate experiment, so they could make millions. Ed reluctantly releases Peter; Leo is arrested. By the time Peter reaches the conservatory, Jasmine is elderly; they accept that it's too late to save her. Jasmine dies in Peter's embrace. Later, Charlie is packing Peter's possessions into storage; he decides to get away from Concord. The final scene shows Peter leaving the campus, holding a jasmine branch in memory of the woman he loved. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Life in a Day (1999 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
