“Immortal Ad Vitam is a sort of Blade Runner for the new millennium.” - Variety
New York City: 2095. A floating pyramid has emerged in the skies above Manhattan, inhabited by ancient Egyptian Gods. The Gods have cast judgment upon the falcon-headed Horus and he will lose his immortality in seven days. He leaves the pyramid to find a human host body to inhabit, and to search for a woman able to mate with Gods. In the city below, a beautiful young woman, Jill, with blue hair, blue tears and a power even unknown to her, wanders the city in search of her identity aided by a doctor (Charlotte Rampling) who is fascinated by this mystery of nature.
Reality in this world has a whole new meaning as bodies, voices and memories converge with Gods, mutants, mortals and extra terrestrials. Stunning visual effects meld with the poetic surrealism of master comic book creator Enki Bilal’s fantastic Nikopol epic. This is a ground-breaking step into the future of film-making.
