Synopsis

Surrounded by the vast expanse of the universe we are but microscopic creatures, no bigger than specks of dust. And yet, each and everyone of us carries an immense universe within themselves. After all, everything is connected and part of the same cycle. Using grand-scale images and music, Origin depicts the very source of life in a poetic and abstract way. It poses its core message by asking spiritual questions about our very existence. Where do we come from and where are we going? What is our true origin?
