Description: Probes the infinite magnitude of space, and its reverse, the ultimate minuteness of matter. Animation art and animation camera achieve this journey to the farthest conceivable point of the universe and then into the tiniest particle of existence - an atom of a living cell - with freshness and clarity that would seem impossible with other means of exposition. (Awards: Bilbao, Buenos Aires, Philadelphia, Berlin)

Complete Record: The zoom, the movement to or from a point at some speed, is an immense one in this film -- no less than from a boy fishing on a river, to the most distant conceivable point of the universe, and then back again to the young fisherman and to final infinity inside him, the last atom of one living cell. The aim of this vast and awesome journey? To give people, especially young people, some idea of the immeasurable grandeur of space and its opposite, the ultimate minuteness of matter.
