What would your life be like if you knew it would never end? People have yearned for eternal life forever and fear death because it means the end to something. In "Adelaine" the question is posed to see what one could expect if you had no option but keep going and going, leaving behind people and things you treasure, trying to find the best in what life offers, and reinventing ways to give logical meaning to one's existence.
Our Adelaine is special from the beginning. She is born as a new year is born, marries, has a child and loses her husband too early, as if this foreshadows her future experiences. One night, a cosmic combination of science and luck transforms her into a person who is guaranteed eternal life. It's an interesting twist, but is it the best one for her. As we soon realize, she must change her lifestyle and abandon her loved ones.
Her new "lives" takes her all over the world, as her spirit keeps her going, and she comes to realize that it is going to be pretty lonely for her as there is no other one like her, and as if that is not enough trouble, finding company is not an easy proposition for regular folks.
Adelaine eventually meets the love of her life and makes a decision that will have interesting repercussions. As she begins a new phase and meets her boyfriend's parents, she's about to confront her past again and take steps to find a final solution to her dilemma. Will she face reality or will she continue creating lies in order to survive?
"Adelaine" is a thoughtful film, exploring the best and worst moments in life and the relationships that give it meaning. Being in a special situation might not be the best deal. Also, there are more ways to die and kill yourself that facing physical death. It's a fantasy that feels real because it relates to us, to our dreams, and the meaning of happiness.
This might sound like a spoiler but i just wanted to let you have a feel of the reason why you should watch...
