Plot

An African narrator tells the story of earth history, the birth of the universe and evolution of life. Beautiful imagery makes this movie documentary complete.

Sinekatalog’s take

A lyrical nature documentary tracing life from cosmic beginnings, narrated in an African storyteller's voice with astonishingly close, jewel-like photography of creatures. It feels more like a meditation than a lecture. Fine for families and anyone who loves macro imagery.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
