Moving between stories and representative images, this meditation on life and death focuses on the concept of the mythical tree of life. Which is said to give immortal life to all who drink its sap. In a fabled timeline from the film. The 16th century Spanish conquistador played by Hugh Jackman. Begins searching for this tree to rescue his queen (Rachel Weisz) from the Inquisition.
Another conceptual story happened a few centuries later. Jackman struggled with death. As a modern scientist, he was desperately searching for a medical breakthrough that could save the life of his wife, Iz, who suffered from cancer. The third and most abstract concept is that Jackman is different incarnations of the same character. This time seeking eternal life within the reach of a floating sphere that transports the ancient tree of life to the depths of space.
