The third world war has broken out. The war has invaded the whole earth with its destruction and that perpetuated by radioactivity. The only way open to seek relief or a way out of this war is TIME. The flight in time, either past or future, becomes the number one problem to solve. Scientists start to work in underground shelters, where the survivors become the guinea pigs. The hero of the film will know, before his dramatic end, a moving story with a woman living in another time. Made only from still images, this philosophical tale or visionary tragedy relates life on earth after the Third World War.
