The Death and Life of Otto Bloom is a fictional documentary about the life and great love of an extraordinary man who experiences time in reverse – wandering blindly into the past, while remembering the future. The film charts Bloom’s rise from scientific oddity to international superstar as he searches for love and meaning in this strange, backwards world. When the world proves unready for Bloom’s radical ideas, his fall from grace is as swift as it is tragic. But for Bloom, the end is only the beginning…
