A brilliant but disturbed scientist decides to freeze his children alive, while he races against time to cure their deadly genetic disease by unlocking the secret of immortality encoded within the DNA of the Turritopsis jellyfish.
Imagine a world without aging, injury, disease or death. Quint’s obsesson with this utopian dream pushes him to the edge of his sanity.
Rather than risk losing his dying children, Quint decides to preserve them in a cryonic ametabolic state while he researches genetic modifications that would induce in them the regenerative abilities of the “immortal” Turritopsis jellyfish.
Quint’s desperate need for embryonic stem cells sets him on a collision course with Masterson, a shadowy figure, whose bizarre motives trigger a chain of events with far-reaching consequences.
While our story pushes the central character down some very dark paths, we still wanted the audience to see that despite his many flaws, Quint is always driven by a utopian vision and noble intentions,” says director Maurice Haeems.
“This film asks difficult philosophical questions like ‘How far would you go to save the ones you love?’ and ‘Without your family, would you still want to live forever?’,” says producer Jay Sitaram.
