Most of us have wondered what it would be like to live forever. The Immortal dares to ask the next question: what happens after forever?
This sci-fi short follows a man so terrified of death that he discovers the secret to immortality. At first, it seems like the ultimate triumph over humanity’s oldest fear. But as the years become centuries, and the centuries become eons, he learns a terrible truth: everything has an expiration date. Empires fall. Planets die. Stars burn out. Eventually, the universe itself reaches its end.
Everything dies… except him.
Inspired by the filmmaker’s own anxieties about aging and mortality, The Immortal transforms a dream shared by many into a cosmic nightmare, exploring whether death might not be life’s greatest tragedy after all.
