2017, 1 h 47 minAn experimental film, an attempt at summing up the human knowledge on life and evolution. The narrator (Andrzej Chyra), being an acting combination of the Noblist Richard Feyman and the outstanding Polish psychiatrist Antoni Kępiński, tells a visually unusual story. He does not refrain from black humour. The following parts treat of the creation of substance, stars and planets, the beginning of life, the biological roots of phenomena such as violence, alcoholism or free will. The particular chapters deal with the future of the human kind, courageously forecasting the ongoing uniting of man and technology, and, at last, the end of the world in the light of the most recent finding of physics.
