Life of the Mind

Synopsis

Julian Rayes is a geneticist researching lifespan, confronted with the very paradox of wanting to prolong life, while regarding it as a mere by-product of matter, void of any meaning or purpose. Parallel to his research's progress, strange dreams, visions and altered states of consciousness, will provide paradigm changing experiences regarding the purpose of existence, that will reset the course of his career and life.
