A time journey in which past, present and future merge: from the remote South Pacific of the nineteenth century to a post-apocalyptic future. Action, romance and destiny intertwine dramatically through the story, showing how human connections overcome the barriers of time and space.The project gives life to the imaginary thread that connects the six stories, making it the key recurring element throughout the website. The thread creates three representations of the film’s crucial aspects.
