As an experiment to see if she can turn this cynic into an optimist, the journalist, the Woman of Tomorrow, sends him on a journey of enlightenment to prove that the future matters. He will meet with great minds in the arts and sciences: the experimental poet Christian Bök; the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban; the activist Francis Dupuis-Déri; the philosopher Alain de Botton; the artist Marlene Dumas; the novelist Rivka Galchen; the leading scientists Richard Dawkins and Craig Venter; and the ghost of the existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre. <91mn 43s>Language:English / French with English subtitlesNotes:Genre:DRAMA -
