The official synopsis for Cloud Atlas says, "[It is] an epic story of humankind in which the actions and
consequences of our lives impact one another throughout the past, present and future as one soul is shaped from
a murderer into a savior and a single act of kindness ripples out for centuries to inspire a revolution.
