I Origins

A young scientist and his lab partner embark on a monumental quest focused on exploring the origins of mankind. Their investigation centers around the connection between vision and chromosomes across various species, setting the stage for groundbreaking discoveries.

Over several years, the duo collects extensive data that supports the theory of Evolution as the predominant explanation for human development. Their work earns them a degree of notoriety and respect within the scientific community.

Their lives take a dramatic turn with the arrival of their son. After mapping his eye traits, they discover an astonishing match in the database, prompting a series of profound questions about his origins and their research.

An external doctor contacts them, indicating their son may exhibit markers of autism. Instead of rushing into additional tests, they opt for a more personal approach, driven by a need to understand their son's unique traits more deeply.

The parents set out to locate the individual whose eye traits are identical to their son's. Their search takes a somber turn when they learn that the person had died shortly before their son's conception, deepening the mystery surrounding their child's identity.

As they delve deeper into their investigation, they find connections between the deceased individual and the baby pictures used by the doctor for assessment. This revelation raises further questions about the nature of genetic traits and familial connections.

The scientists begin to confront data that contradicts the perceived uniqueness of eye patterns. This revelation leads them down a new path, as they explore the implications on understanding identity within genetics.

The father travels to India in search of his ex-girlfriend's daughter, who was born shortly after her tragic passing. He conducts tests using photographs, hoping to find further insight regarding their son’s eye traits and family connections.

Initial test results from the investigations lead the father to question the validity of his past research. He feels a sense of foolishness as the findings challenge everything he thought he understood about genetics and familial ties.

While leaving an examination site, the little girl unexpectedly bursts into tears and refuses to enter the elevator. This emotional moment prompts the father to reflect deeply on her fear and its implications regarding their research.

In a moment of clarity, the father realizes that the little girl's terror is tied to an elevator accident that claimed his ex-girlfriend’s life. This shocking connection forces him to re-evaluate his understanding of identity related to genes and eye patterns.

The emotional discoveries compel the parents to navigate a complex web of uncertainties regarding who their son is. They start to recognize the intricate interplay between identity, connection, and the mysteries of human genetics, redefining their quest.
