This movie is simply amazing. It's a story about love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world. After I saw the trailer, I was sure it was going to be just a very cool drama and love story with great visual effects, about a guy who was going to find the elixir of immortality, to cure his wife of cancer. But it's not. It's a lot more than that. It doesn't have an exact story, a precise time-line, and whatever you'd expect. The visual effects in this movie are made by using micro-photography. This isn't a commercial movie, it is an art film... a beautiful poem about the fragility of life and the idea of forever.
The movie hasn't made too much profit in the box-office yet, but that's just because people don't know what they're missing. It's an indescribable masterpiece, that everyone should experience. So go see it !
