Federico Faggin had money, fame, success… and still felt that quiet, aching void you might know too well.
This cinematic story follows Faggin’s unexpected quest beyond technology — into the one place no machine can enter: human consciousness. It’s not about the next big invention. It’s about the irreducible truth that could end the endless chase… and change how you see your life forever.
If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more than success, more than stuff, more than status… this is your story.
