Description

2020 National Indie Excellence Award Finalist.

The word "reincarnation" brings to mind images of former lives full of glory or historical achievements, but is that always the case? 65-year-old Janusz Zalewski finds out firsthand when he wakes up as a newborn with all his memories intact. Janusz now must start life from day one with all the limitations of an infant. The confusion and panic he feels are only the beginning of his struggles as he discovers living can be challenging when one carries an entire existence worth of baggage.

Along his journey, Janusz finds out that his reincarnation is not a one-time glitch as he experiences multiple deaths and rebirths. During these lives, Janusz faces issues that push him to the breaking point. His mindset and worldview are challenged continuously. He sees that the way he used to do things doesn't work now, and the opportunities he had in his first life don't apply in his later lives. Struggling for answers, but most of the time, just struggling to survive, Janusz travels through the years unsure of what the future holds or even when it will end.
