Looking out the window, the glass facades of dense and towering skyscrapers glowed dazzlingly in the evening sun. Damian, who was old and frail, felt lonely and hopeless. He was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and had only half a year left to live. Although he has an enviable wealth and an extremely luxurious life, he can see that everything he has created from scratch and worked hard, with the collapse of his body, will eventually be nothing but fleeting, and he gradually feels futile. What's more, in his vertical and horizontal world, his only daughter has always been separated from him, lacking the last line of defense and comfort of his family, he finally persuaded himself to accept the "conversion" operation of Phoenix Biotechnology Company and let his body die first. Reviving his soul through Edward Keenard's young body, he enjoyed a period of joy of returning to youth.
Accompanied by the emptiness after indulging in pleasure, the rejection of the body began to make him miserable, and he could only be suppressed by taking medicine regularly. It was the traces of Keenard's soul memory left in the body. The incomplete picture clues, he came to Kinard's home, and some truths were slowly revealed.
It turns out that the body he lives in is not artificially cultivated, but by depriving another life, a family will become crippled without a father, and the oppression of moral sense makes him extremely unhappy; and the inventor of "conversion" technology Ai Professor Bright was also able to continue by depriving his students of his life. His so-called high-sounding reason for letting the mind and mind of intelligent people get rid of the shackles of aging bodies is just an excuse for his own desires.
Kinard's youngest daughter has always regarded Damian as her biological father. The short time with her awakened Damian's lack of fatherly love for her daughter. He can no longer deprive him of the happiness of belonging to a perfect family. In the end, Damian personally destroyed Abright and his living laboratory, stopped taking the medicine, and let his soul retire, thus allowing Keenard to return to the family.
Before he died, he went to see his daughter as his old friend, left her a letter, and watched her tearful face read the letter through the glass window downstairs. His youngest daughter taught him that love should be done in a way that respects each other.

Damian practiced his dreams and desires of "immortality" and longevity, but the moral sense and values of respect for the lives of others drove him to end it bravely. The immortality of life can never be achieved by depriving another life, which is the Man can be embodied in dignity, which is higher than immoral "immortality".
is a soft sci-fi movie after all, and the details and presentation of the "transformation" technology are not very detailed, but instead focus on the discussion of ethics and love brought about by it. The so-called "transplantation of spirit and thought" is just to push both sides of the conversion into an airtight cabin, and it is completed after a high-speed rotation. It is indeed not cool and convincing enough, but it is about the discussion of bioethics and moral values. , and Damian's near-personal heroic self-sacrifice are all in line with Hollywood's value standards; and love returns to the family after all, although some people will leave, a happy ending has always been the consistent principle of Hollywood, letting the audience walk out of the movie theater is still very important to life full of confidence.
It is said that the singularity is about to come or will eventually come, when all diseases can be cured, and the human dream of immortality is no longer a fool's dream, and everything that has its meaning confirmed by death, such as love, will be eternal?
