In the late 19th century, a brilliant mathematician is hospitalized in an asylum after repeated attempts to solve a great mathematical puzzle. Georg Cantor's great achievement, understanding the nature of infinity, cost him his mental health, but it earned him a place among the greatest mathematicians of all time.

This is the story of Cantor's life, as well as his deep philosophical work, which also has its roots in ancient Greek mathematics and Jewish numerology, known as Kabbalah.
