Samsara

Hsin-Chien Huang (TW)

It is the near future, the Earth’s environment has been destroyed by human beings. We have to abandon it and find a new home in space. After hundred years of space travel, we have re-engineered our DNA and artificially evolved into a new form. Many years go by before we suddenly realize that we didn’t reach a new world, but returned to Earth in another time as a different life form. Several attempts are made to leave Earth which leads back to it. We realize that our past, present and future are fused together.
