Synopsis

Separated from his wife Catherine, Jean Diaz, a writer and filmmaker, lives alone with his young son, David. As they set off on their holidays, Jean and David are victims of a car crash which has been arranged by Death herself. The latter offers Jean a strange proposition: his son will be returned to life providing he, Jean, makes an animated film which denounces the violence of the past century. Jean realises too late that Death intends to use the film to bring about the destruction of mankind. His only hope of saving the world is to find the passage through which one passes from life to death...
