In the 16th century, a conquistador searches for the legendary Tree of Life to free his queen who has fallen captive. In the 21st century, a scientist doing research on various trees is desperately struggling to find a cure for his wife who has cancer.
In the 26th century, an astronaut traveling with an old tree in deep space toward a dying star is seeking eternity. Using an unusual editing style to tell three parallel stories, Darren Aronofsky takes viewers on a sensory journey exploring love, death, immortality, and the fragility of existence.
