这是一部非常扎实的从观察入手，通过摄影机分析记录世界，凝汇成一部动人影像论文的作品。影片分三幕细细描绘了动物、植物和矿物世界，大量档案资料、现代技术和专家分析在散文般的叙述中缓缓道来。在这部内容极为丰富的影片中，创作者采用了一种非人类中心主义的视角将动植矿物进行了重新定位。原来，植物在多个方面都超越了人类，石头亦有其独特的存在价值。
Nathan Carman, a young man who, after a fishing trip with his mother Linda off the coast of New England, survives a week on a life raft while she is lost at sea. The sensational incident renews interest in the unsolved murder of Carman's wealthy grandfather years earlier, spurring a media frenzy, a war over a vast family fortune, multiple investigations and ultimately federal charges against Carman for murder on the high seas. With unprecedented access to family, friends and investigators, the film is a nautical thriller that explores intimate human mysteries about family, greed, perception, mental health and the unpredictable mind of an enigmatic young man.
