BEFORE SCIENCE
A Limitless World Studios Realisation Film
The Social-Media Impact Film That Awakens a Generation
LOGLINE
Five university students spend a single day debating the meaning of existence without using scientific explanations. What begins as a lighthearted social experiment becomes a profound philosophical breakdown — revealing that science is only one lens in an infinite universe of perception.
ONE-SHEET SUMMARY
Before Science is a dialogue-driven cinematic experiment disguised as a social media film.
Five students — two men, two women, and one non-binary student — take on a simple challenge:
Explain life, meaning, truth, and existence
without mentioning science at all.
At first, they laugh.
Then they struggle.
Then the world cracks open around them.
Each student presents a completely different “dream” or viewpoint of the god-like tree from New World of Eden’s Tree. Their dreams don’t match, creating tension, comedy, deep confusion — and eventually, revelation.
By the end, the non-binary student quietly realises what the tree truly represents.
Not magic.
Not mythology.
Not science.
Perspective.
Belief.
Human imagination in its rawest form.
The reveal is subtle, symbolic, and grounded — never mystical, never surreal for the sake of spectacle.
The film becomes a mirror for the audience:
Do you truly understand the world?
Or have you only been taught how to explain it?

THE CHAOTIC SEARCH FOR NON-SCIENTIFIC TRUTH
ACT III
THE REVELATION
* Students gather in the courtyard for a uni project.
* The filmmaker explains the rules:
“Describe existence without using science. No physics, no biology, no cosmology, no proven theories.”
* They laugh.
* They fail immediately.
* Ego clashes form.
* The tree appears in their first dreams.

​
​
1. Arguments Break Out
* Students shout ideas at each other.
* Someone tries to sneak science back in — gets called out.
* Humour, frustration, identity clashes.
​
2. The Dreams Begin
Each student dreams of the tree:
* One sees it glowing
* One sees it mechanical
* One sees it dead
* One sees it infinite
* One sees it weeping
None match.
Tension builds.
​
3. The Emotional Meltdowns
The science-oriented one breaks first.
The philosopher loses control.
The dreamer cries mid-sentence.
The connector walks out.
Only the non-binary student remains calm.
​
4. Searching for Meaning Without Tools
In the library, they attempt to rebuild language.
They argue definitions.
They question existence.
They fail again.
​
Midpoint Realisation:
They don’t understand life — they only understand science’s explanation of life.

​​​​
The rooftop.
​
Silence.
​
One by one, students describe their final dream of the tree.
The differences no longer cause conflict —
they spark understanding.
The Non-Binary Student’s Final Interpretation
​
They realise:
The tree isn’t a deity.
It isn’t magic.
It isn’t scientific.
​
It is:
belief
projection
perspective
identity
experience.
The tree is whatever each person needs it to be.
​
Final Message
The world can only be explained after we understand how we interpret it.
Science is one path — not the first one.
