The official synopsis reads:
Stranded on Earth for centuries, Hanokh is an immortal man conflicted by the ever-present question of his purpose. As he navigates through time and the modern world, he yearns to uncover the secret of his existence. A brilliant but terminally ill scientist becomes obsessed with capturing Hanokh and believes that his immortality holds the key to his own salvation. His relentless pursuit jeopardizes not only Hanokh but also the safety of the woman he has grown to love after a life of solitude. As he closes in, Hanokh must confront the powerful force that wants to exploit him and navigate the betrayal of those closest to him.
In a desperate race against time, he grapples with the moral implications of his immortality while simultaneously striving to protect the woman he cherishes. All the while also seeking answers that could either liberate him or trap him in the eternal quest for meaning in a world where life and death are intricately connected.
