2009141 min7.8 / 10

A visually stunning, philosophically dense meditation on choice, time, and the nature of reality that weaves multiple timelines and love stories into an ambiguous, melancholic exploration of free will and entropy.

Nemo Nobody leads an ordinary existence with his wife and 3 children; one day, he wakes up as a mortal centenarian in the year 2092.
