AUN: The Beginning and the End of All Things (2011)

While searching for new energy sources, Japanese scientist Sekai meets a tragic end. Two decades later, Brazilian mathematician Euclides carries on his work, but a missing key component blocks all progress. Only AUN—Sekai’s son—holds the secret to saving humanity from its own destruction. In the shadow of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the film feels eerily prophetic. Through AUN’s dreamlike imagery, set to music by Christian Fennesz and Ryuichi Sakamoto, a fantastical and gripping world unfolds—one alive with both light and shadow.
