Synopsis
Set across the American landscape, this epic story of regeneration and rebirth is loosely based on the 1983 Norman Mailer novel "Ancient Evenings." The protagonist is an ancient Egyptian who sought reincarnation three times in the hope of achieving immortality and the structure of the film corresponds to the seven stages the Egyptian soul undergoes in its journey toward new life. It combines documentary footage of three live acts performed outdoors in Los Angeles, Detroit, and New York with live-action cinema largely set in a careful recreation of Mailer's Brooklyn brownstone apartment, where the late author's wake is underway.
