Synopsis
Recalls the eventful life of Spanish photographer and physicist Santiago Bergson. It questions whether photography can indeed confer immortality on its subjects, and mourns the consequences of Bergson's work on the "weapon to end all wars." Structured in five parts, the film follows its Zelig-like protagonist as he tinkers with the space-time continuum to help a miner who saved his life, contributes to the invention of the x-ray machine, gets spirited away by the Americans to work on the Manhattan Project, somehow finds time to help Orson Welles with "The War of the Worlds", and finally dies fighting in the French Resistance. Or does he?
