This film reveals the human body in a way never seen before - describing the incredible story of a single day in the lifetime of our bodies. From morning to night we live through many miracles. The moment we open our eyes, we burn cells from the surface of our retinas which gives us, each morning, a fresh set of sensors with which to view the day. In the evening the last rumblings of our late night meal is turned into the raw materials with which we will face tomorrow. This film explores, in astonishing detail, the daily biological processes that occur without our control and often without us even noticing. |
