Youth Without Youth
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Produced by American Zoetrope, SRG Atelier
A metaphysically ambitious, melancholic fantasy about time, identity, and love that weaves together philosophical inquiry with romantic longing across multiple realities and timelines.
Professor of language and philosophy Dominic Matei is struck by lightning and ages backwards from 70 to 40 in a week, attracting the world and the Nazis. While on the run, the professor meets a young woman who has her own experience with a lightning storm. Not only does Dominic find love again, but her new abilities hold the key to his research.
