Amanda is a divorced woman who makes a living as a photographer. During the Fall of the year Amanda begins to see the world in new and different ways when she begins to question her role in life, her relationships with her career and men and what it all means. As the layers to her everyday experiences fall away insertions in the story with scientists, and philosophers and religious leaders impart information directly to an off-screen interviewer about academic issues, and Amanda begins to understand the basis to the quantum world beneath. During her epiphany as she considers the Great Questions raised by the host of inserted thinkers, she slowly comprehends the various inspirations and begins to see the world in a new way.

By Sheldon Nylander

Baloney sandwich with a side of baloney! Pretending at first to be about quantum mechanics it starts out innocently enough, seeming to look at small curiosities of "science." It isn't long before it takes a hard left into full-blown crap, ultimately ending in a cultish world view as a precursor to "The Secret," another "documentary" steeped in psuedoscience. This is not a documentary about quantum mechanics but rather a gross, gross distortion of it. I really wish I had known more about this film before sitting down to watch it. Like "The Secret," avoid if you value your brain cells.
