Synopsis
This film recounts the fable of Chronopolis, an immense city lost in space.
Its inhabitants' sole occupation- and sole pleasure- is the making of time. They thus create all kinds of time periods, with which they play enigmatic games.
Despite their monotonous immortality, the Chronopolitans live in the expectation that an important event will arise upon the encounter of a special instant and human being. Now, thanks to mysterious procedures being put to work, this instant will arrive in the form of a white ball.
Up in a mountain, very far away, a mountaineer falls in the void. His fall through the air leads him to the outskirts of Chronopolis...
The long-awaited event is ready...
