Jim Carrey lægger både kritikere og publikum ned som den uvidende Truman Burbank i dette vidunder af en film fra instruktøren Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poets Society) om en mand, hvis liv er et nonstop TV-show. Truman ved ikke, at hans maleriske hjemby er et gigantisk filmstudie ledet af en fremsynet producer/instruktør/skaber (Ed Harris), at folk, der arbejder og bor der, er Hollywood-skuespillere, og at selv hans evigt glade kone er kontraktskuespiller. Lidt efter lidt bliver Truman klogere. Og hvad han gør med sin opdagelse, vil få dig til at grine, græde og heppe, som kun få filmhistorier nogensinde har gjort.

Humans use technology to improve their lives, to forge connections, to create time that doesn’t exist, to replace real interactions. When we devise a second version of ourselves on social media, do we lose a piece of our true selves in the process? Do our digital connections threaten our real life relationships? What happens if the filtered characters we’ve imagined take on a life of their own?
ECHTZEIT by Hellmuth Costard and Jürgen Ebert is a film like thoughts. About reality and the digitalized world. A film about Ruth and Georg, who may no longer exist. A film about "imaginary cameras", synthetic landscapes, about (flight) simulators and Pershing II.
Melissa Tittl, investigative journalist and filmmaker, undertakes a journey to unravel an ancient code. In the tombs of the pharaohs, on temple walls and ancient sites all over the world, she uncovers not only one code but two. One code that we use today in our current mathematical systems and a second code that hints at something more ancient and much more profound. She interviews geneticists, archaeologists, biblical scholars and quantum physicists that have all picked up the same code in their work. Could this be the next part of our evolution? Melissa weaves together profound evidence that our greatest human potential is hidden in plain sight, waiting for us to understand how the universe really works.
