The Tesseract (film)

"The Tesseract" is a 2003 psychological thriller directed by Luc Besson, based on Alex Garland's novel. The film explores themes of identity, fate, and interconnectedness through a complex narrative involving multiple characters—including a mysterious thief, a woman with a troubled past, and a Mexican prostitute—whose lives intertwine in unexpected ways. The story employs nonlinear storytelling, revealing how their choices and circumstances influence one another across different timelines. Ultimately, it suggests that individual actions resonate beyond their immediate context, echoing the concept of a tesseract—a four-dimensional hypercube—as a metaphor for interconnected existence and alternate realities.
