00:00 Can you imagine if you could ever capture life in a film?
00:05 I would like to introduce Daniel.
00:12 Hello.
00:13 As a little boy, Dan had these visions about this film he was going to make.
00:17 All I do is I have a video camera in my hand and I believe that life is an interesting enough story.
00:22 Not with my open closet.
00:24 Dan, don't videotape me right now.
00:27 Over the years, Dan traveled to 42 countries.
00:30 He was genuinely curious about people.
00:32 I feel like I'm manifesting the plot line of my dreams.
00:36 What's the biggest thing that we don't understand?
00:39 Don't touch cats!
00:40 No, it's nature and the universe.
00:42 Daniel collected something from everywhere that he went to remain connected to that place.
00:48 This is my favorite one so far.
00:50 These bones were charred with bad vibes.
00:53 I don't think you should be getting anything.
00:57 You feel the shift of reality.
00:58 Run, Felix, run!
00:59 Don't.
01:00 I've been making that documentary for eight years.
01:05 This is an unexpected turn.
01:07 We've had a look under the microscope and this is acute leukemia.
01:22 I remember Dan saying, "It's linked to my film."
01:26 Put yourself in the position of the character.
01:29 They tell you, you have six months to live.
01:32 I don't want to find out what happens next. I want to stay here.
01:35 I'm trying to figure out how to write a twist ending.
01:42 Get as close as you can.
01:45 Okay, here we go.
01:49 When you are my age, nothing will be the same.
01:52 Make a wish.
01:53 Nobody knows what I'm wishing for.
01:55 You will find the reason for yourself.
01:58 It will shine in your life as brightly as the sun shines in the sky.
02:03 And most importantly, remember that life is beautiful.
02:10 Even when it is sad or scary, look for that beauty.
02:15 Beauty.
02:16 That made the whole trip worth it.
02:22 I'm not alone.
02:24 I climbed the tree to see the world.
02:30 I'm not alone.
02:31 I'm not alone.
02:33 I'm not alone.
