The Fountain
|
Three parallel stories--about love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of
existence--as told through the odyssey taken on by one man in his thousand-year
struggle to save the woman he loves. His epic journey begins in 16th-century
Spain, where, as conquistador Tomas Creo, he commences his search for the 'Tree
of Life', the legendary entity believed to grant eternal life to those who drink
of its sap. As modern-day scientist Tommy Creo, he desperately struggles to find
a cure for the cancer that is killing his beloved wife Isabel. Traveling through
deep space as a 26th-century astronaut, Tom begins to grasp the mysteries of
life that have consumed him for more than a century.
