When filmmaker Jacques-Hervé Fichet loses his best friend to a sudden heart attack, a series of chance encounters draw him into one of humanity’s greatest enigmas: the origin of consciousness. Alongside Élisabeth Loesch, he travels from intimate testimonies of near death experiences, then meets with some of the world’s most brilliant minds, including Nobel Prize-winning physicist Roger Penrose, neurologists Steven Laureys and Charlotte Martial, and psychiatrist Christophe Fauré. Blending science, philosophy, and human emotion, this documentary is both an investigation and an inner journey, searching for answers to the question: does consciousness come from the brain… or beyond?
