Sorry for the super late response. But yeah, I really loved this movie and I'm not even a fan of Michael Pitt.
I usually avoid his movies, I think I've associated my angry for his character in "Hedwig" to him as an actor. lol
I thought this movie would be more talked over here,
considering the whole plot is about synchronicities leading him to meet his maybe twinflame?
I wished to avoid spoilers but I guess I can talk freely about it, maybe more people will be interested in watching it?
---------------------------
So for those curious that happen to read this:
(spoiler ahead)
The lead is a scientist, he's in a party and meets a girl and they're all in costumes so
he only sees her eyes. He take a picture of them because his project is about proving he can make blind simple beings, see, evolve(he's trying to prove evolution). So
they instantly click, love at first sight and she's a free spirit, wild, spontaneous and have sex w/him. Without him even seeing her face.
Then numbers synchronicities start to happen and he sees a billboard w/her eyes and he tries to find out who worked for the campaign. So he finally finds her and they date and are all happy.
He has a co-work that is into him but keeps her distance, she in the same "science level" as him, meaning they both don't really believe in spirituality. While his girlfriend is really into it and they keep arguing about it. Then something really bad happens.
First forward few years he's married his co-worker but can forget his ex. When his baby is born they do an exam to check his eyes and for some reason they recognize him as a male elder black man. The doctor says it's just a mistake and erase it, placing the baby's name on the file. However they say his kid need some treatment to prevent some problems and they agree to take him to do more tests.
Turns out the tests were to see how his baby reacted to pictures. The scientists couple get suspicious about the research and find out the test pictures are related to the man his boy was recognized as being, by his eyes exam.
So they ask a friend to try to access the database and see if they got other matches and he finds a new match in India. He travels all way there to find this child. When he's almost giving up he meets this little girl.
He does the tests himself but believes it's not enough until he sees her reaction to a trauma trigger and then he knows it's true, "people reincarnate". He opens a door to a whole new way of seeing the world and life. Then we see the original researcher seeing which important figures of human history has already been found in somebody's else eyes.
Simply put,
the movie is about a time when everyone gets an eye biometry and then some researchers compare to deceased people and finds matches, meaning that despite being born in different families, w/different races in different places, somehow
the eyes would repete themselves in a new body so that people could be found.
So they make a soul bank, I think, that everyone could register their eyes so in the future families could find themselves.
All in all is movie about love and how it can survive beyond death and seeing life in a new way.
