Two of the greatest minds of the 19th century, mathematician Carl Friederich Gauss and scientist Alexander von Humboldt, dedicate their studies to measuring and comprehending the world they live in. This visually stunning epic film is a playful re-imagining of the great men's lives. Humboldt, a man with a passion for global exploration, is contrasted with Gauss, a man who experiences his world through mathematical theories and figures. Humboldt, aided by his colleague, Aimé Bonpland, travels the globe physically engaging the world he wishes to understand, applying modern, scientific thinking to comparatively unknown regions. Though he remains in the same destitute community for much of his life, Gauss' interior journey of mathematical discovery proves to be just as rich and visually stunning as Humboldt's adventures in remote areas of the world. Fact and fiction are mixed, often to humorous effect, to chronicle the findings of two very different men who nevertheless sought the same answers. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)
