...Kamchatka.
:00:50
In the beginning there was
a cell, nothing else.

:00:53
That cell split into two, those
two into others, and so on.

:00:58
Some cells became plants,
others bugs...

:01:02
... others animals...
:01:03
... and others us.
:01:06
What they never explain
is what happens next...

:01:09
... between the moment
the cells become a person...

:01:13
... and that person
climbs the Himalayas...

:01:16
... discovers a vaccine...
:01:18
... or becomes a famous
escapist like Houdini.

:01:21
That is a real mystery.
:01:23
No textbook mentions this.
No teacher does.

:01:26
But my dad did so.
Once.

:01:29
The last time I saw him.
:01:31
My story, like all stories,
begins with a cell...

:01:34
... but ends in Kamchatka.
:01:41
Life,
the supreme mystery.

:01:44
The energy which induces
cells to join together...

:01:47
Fall, 1976.
... and form tissues...

:01:50
Days after
Argentina's military coup
