An architect designs spaces where aging is slowed down; a geriatrician demonstrates that immortality is a thing of the near future; a monk wants to run for 1000 days to train his soul for its upcoming journey to infinity: these are some of the film's characters who take a philosophical, an ethical, and a practical approach to preparing themselves for an extended life. How will our concepts of life and death change with the prospect that death can be indefinitely held at bay?
