How good can a movie that does not explain it self? Tom Tykwer ("Run Lola Run") and the Wachowski siblings Andy and Lana ("Matrix") had taken it into his head to make a movie a novel that was considered unfilmable. "Cloud Atlas", the work of Britain's David Mitchell in 2004, is not the first in the history of cinema, was told by the Such.

This is followed by "Letters from Zedelghem" in which a talented composer in Britain in the 30s wrote passionate letters to his lover. As a thriller is "half-life", the story of the intrepid American reporter Luisa Rey says that plays 1973 . "The cruel martyrdom of Timothy Cavendish" happens in the present, followed by "Somnis Oratio" that occurred in the form of a dialogue in a fictional near future. And finally "Sloosha's Crossin 'un went dismissed". A story in monologue form, set in a fictional, far future. fact that the film would be a gamble, was the makers from the moment consciously. One hurdle was the book, the other project financing. The funding model is similar to that of low-budget productions, where every euro comes from another donor. More than 30 financial partners were Tom Tykwer According end and more than 170 contracts.
