🪐 You are entering a fictional zone: reality has been suspended.

🎬 Director’s Statement:
The ideas behind The Immortal were driven by my own anxieties around ageing and death. Thinking through what would happen if you could live forever fascinated me as I followed it to its fullest extent. Death still scares me... but not dying would be far worse, and maybe there’s some kind of solace in that.
