The movie follows Nimo, the last mortal on Earth in a society where immortality is achieved through cellular renewal. Nimo, who appears old but believes he's 35, has no memory of his past and is under constant surveillance. Through hypnosis, he accesses his subconscious and recalls pre-birth memories where babies know their future but are made to forget by angels of oblivion. Nimo retains his future memories due to the angels' oversight. The story explores various potential life paths for Nimo based on decisions at critical junctures, reflecting on the impact of choice and chance in shaping destiny. Ultimately, it's revealed that these realities are imagined by a nine-year-old Nimo, who decides to flee from choosing between his separated parents, leading to a reality where he finds happiness with Anna. The movie concludes with the universe contracting, causing time to reverse and allowing Nimo to relive his life backward.
