Each of the chapters is closely linked, and the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another. The story takes place in various places and eras - the Pacific Ocean in the 19th century; Cambridge and Edinburgh in 1936; San Francisco in 1973; London in 2012; Seoul in 2144; and the post-apocalyptic Hawaii. The six chapters include: (1) a "lawyer" was saved by an African slave from being poisoned by a doctor on his voyage back to the U.S.; (2) a "composer" produced the《Cloud Atlas Sextet》after reading the diary of the "lawyer"; (3) the scientist lover of the "composer" was killed before unveiling a conspiracy; a "journalist", who obtained the correspondences between the couple and the vinyl record of《Cloud Atlas Sextet》, decided to disclose the truth; (4) a "publisher", who had suffered from nursing home abuse, colluded with other elderly in an escape after reading the story of the "journalist"; the "publisher" then wrote a screenplay based on his own experience; (5) a "Korean cloned slave", having been inspired by the story of the "publisher", made a public broadcast of her manifesto; (6) survivors of the post-apocalyptic era led a primitive life and worshipped the "Korean cloned slave" as the God; the indigenous tribe was nearly eliminated by the cannibals which resulted in the exile of the survivors with their civilised counterparts, and they decided to continue their lives in a distant planet…… # Please click the image at the top-right corner to view the full poster. |
