Inspired by the ancient Hindu concept of samsara -- the endless cycle of birth, life, and death related to karma -- THE PERPETUAL LIFE OF JIM ALBERS is a paranoid journey through the mind and body of a man who realizes his daily routine is not only drab and meaningless, but may continue forever. Depicting its title character as a man consumed by his own fears, from the farthest reaches of space to the microscopic flow of the bloodstream, the film tackles a serious subject with humor, vigor, and a unique visual style.
