A conquistador seeks the Tree of Life in a Mayan pyramid. What drives him on is ambition and the love for Queen Isabella.
In modern New York, a surgeon lost his wife to cancer and feels driven to conquer death itself.
And floating through space is a bald man whose only company is a tree made of glass.

Evocative images and strong performances, as one expects from Aronofsky, but much like with his later MOTHER!, how much one enjoys this film depends on how much one enjoys religious imagery.
