Billionaire Mr. Konkai decides to reincarnate himself into a giant baby, and it has become a God-like figure whose breathe and growth become all human being's only living purpose. Mankind seems to be finally united again ever since the nuclear war that has destroyed the world, yet the heavy labour and exploitation have also slowly nurtured rebellion.

​

With its futuristic visual style yet well-balanced realistic rendering, The Reincarnated Giant is director Yang Han's first sci-fi animation work after studying in two of the best animation film schools in China and France.

Adapted from a novel written by Chinese sci-fi guru Wang Jinkang, it tells a provoking dystopia story in a cyberpunk wasted city that ponders on the existence of human beings at the dying moment of civilisation. It strikes a question that is core to mankind, what is the difference between human beings and animals when the seemingly basic living conditions are no longer available? What is more important when the world is dying? Is it more significant to sustain minimum survival or to die with dignity?
