A journalist, played by Liane Balaban, encounters a man known as the “Man of Today,” portrayed by Paul Ahmarani. Although he is a conscientious individual, he remains detached from broader societal concerns, convinced that nothing holds significance beyond his own death. To challenge his bleak outlook, the journalist embarks on an experiment, sending him on a global quest for enlightenment to demonstrate the importance of the future. Throughout his travels, he experiences unexpected meetings with influential figures in the arts and sciences. His journey begins with an unanticipated poetry reading and dialogue with avant-garde poet Christian Bök, and continues with interactions with architect Shigeru Ban, activist Francis Dupuis-Déri, philosopher Alain de Botton, artist Marlene Dumas, novelist Rivka Galchen, prominent scientists, and even a ghost. The question remains: can the journalist transform this skeptic into an optimist? Does it ultimately make a difference? What impact can a single individual have?
