Summary
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...
