A wildly inventive silent-film pastiche that blends cosmic melodrama, romantic farce, and surreal visual spectacle into a joyful, deliberately artificial fantasia.

Pure fantasia, a race to save the world from a fatal heart attack, juxtaposed against a love rivalry between two brothers - a mortician and an actor playing Christ - for the heart of a scientist studying the earth's core.
