Synopsis
Francis Ford Coppola’s Youth Without Youth stars Tim Roth as Dominic Matei, an aging professor of linguistics who finds his youth miraculously restored after surviving a cataclysmic event. Dominic’s physical rejuvenation and apparent immortality is matched by a highly evolved intellect, which attracts the attention of Nazi scientists, forcing him into exile. While on the run, he is reunited with his lost love, Laura, and works to complete his research into the origins of human language. When his research threatens Laura’s health, Dominic is forced to choose between his life’s work and the great love of his life.
