Film Synopsis
Daniel is the son of a guru hoping to recruit others to his sect during
a tour of France. He shares none of his father's beliefs and
lives an aimless life, without purpose or meaning. Twenty-five
generations later, another Daniel lives alone in an underground
shelter, whilst the world above him is in ruins, devastated by war,
disease and every kind of natural disaster. What
terrible combination of circumstances connects these two men?
