Film description
Chaos, rebirth, and catastrophes mark the history of Earth, yet mankind exists. 4.7 bn years of evolution condensed into 24 h reveal: We are children of galactic luck, born in the final second of eternity. As time travelers, we immerse into unknown spheres. Seemingly unreal, mystical, and daunting, yet full of breathtaking landscapes and creatures that have truly existed. We see the young, glowing earth surrounded by cosmic debris, fly over endless oceans of eternal darkness and move through a magical underwater world. Emerging from the water an enchanted land unveils a paradise of prehistorical jungle and giant insects, only to be followed by mass extinction – just until a new cycle starts that surrounds us with bombastic dinosaurs who conquer the earth, before meeting with extinction too.
