GENESIS embarks on an emotionally intense 24-h journey to experience the dramatic milestones in the evolution of earth and mankind from an unknown perspective. Chaos, rebirth and catastrophes mark the history of Earth, yet mankind exists. 4.7 bn years of evolution condensed into 24 h reveal: We are children of galactic luck, born in the final second of eternity. As time travelers we immerse into unknown spheres. Seemingly unreal, mystical and daunting, yet full of breath-taking landscapes and creatures that truly existed before. We see the young, glowing earth surrounded by cosmic debris, fly over endless oceans of darkness and move through a magical underwater world. Emerging from the water an enchanted land unveils: a paradise of prehistorical jungle and giant insects, only to be followed by mass extinction - just until a new cycle starts that surrounds us with bombastic dinosaurs who conquer the earth, before meeting with extinction too. Then finally, we come face to face with our human ancestors, catching glimpses of their achievements and our legacy. What remains is an intense impression of the earth and the insurmountable force and fragility of life.
