When rising stage actress Regina meets a quiet, enigmatic man named Raymond Fosca, she is drawn to the strange intensity behind his eyes. But Fosca carries a secret that defies all reason—he is immortal, condemned to walk the world for centuries, unable to die. Obsessed with understanding him, Regina pushes Fosca to reveal the truth of his past. What begins as curiosity turns into a sweeping journey across time, as Fosca recounts lifetimes of triumph and loss: the rise and fall of kingdoms, revolutions, betrayals, and the deep loneliness that has followed him through every century. While Regina imagines immortality as the ultimate safeguard for her fame and legacy, Fosca’s memories expose a harsher truth—eternal life strips the world of meaning, leaving every love and every ambition to eventually fade into emptiness. As their relationship blurs the line between passion and desperation, Regina becomes captivated by the very condition that has destroyed Fosca’s ability to feel connected to anything. And in the clash between her hunger for significance and his exhaustion from endless existence, the film asks a haunting question: What does it mean to live forever… when nothing around you does? A psychological drama that moves between modern life and centuries of lived history, All Men Are Mortal explores desire, fear, and the fragile human need for purpose—revealing that immortality may be the greatest curse of all.
