It is a lyrical documentary about the cycle of carbon on Earth, from its explosive creation in a dying star, to its place in every structure and organism on our planet; recycled, reused and given back to the universe. An imaginative and intoxicating ride through the inner-workings of first life, the diversity of the animal kingdom, and the organised chaos of the modern world - from the buzz of Tokyo's cityscape to the acid lakes of Ethiopia. A cinematic visual and aural experience of contrasts and connections, Aeon is a film about where we come from, what we have been, and where we are going.
