A unique documentary that uses animation and narration set to a classical music soundtrack to convey what science teaches us about matter, energy, space, time, and life and using this knowledge to ponder man's place in the universe.

Educational documentary and also a feature film. Space, time, matter and energy, plus where man stands in the never ending universe. By the Hubley family of animators, based on the 1959 book of the same name by astronomer Harlow Shapley, who also narrates.—Sherparsa
