Into Eternity: A Film for the Future2010
: Once upon a time man learned to master fire, something no other living creature had done before him. Man conquered the entire world. One day he found a new fire, a fire so powerful that it could never be extinguished. Man reveled in the thought that he now possessed the powers of the Universe. Then in horror he realized that his new fire could not only create, but also destroy. Not only could it burn on land, but inside all living creatures, inside his children, the animals, and crops. Man looked around for help, but found none, and so he built a burial chamber deep in the bowels of the earth - a hiding place for the fire to burn into eternity.
: When the burial chamber was complete, Man laid his new fire to rest, and tried to forget about it, for he knew that only through oblivion would he be free from it. But then he started to worry that his children might find the burial chamber and awaken the fire from its sleep. So he bade his children to tell their children, and their children's children too, to remember forever to consign the burial chamber to oblivion. To remember forever... to forget.
