The grand idea is that only in the final breaths of death are we are made aware of our past lives, and that we are given the promise of passing on to another level while remaining connected to those we love.
A man on his death bed dreams of a love through the ages with a woman who promises him everlasting love.

Paul, Thanks for your comments. You are right, it’s just an idea, but that’s by design. I forgot to mention that it’s a short script. A tone poem.
The story is a elegiacal meditation on love unbounded through time. He must learn to let go of love in this lifetime so that he can move on, and she offers him the promise that the love will always be there.
Let me try again addressing his intention, “Through dreams of a timeless love, a desperate man on his death bed learns to let go of fear.”
or maybe a different, more conceptual tack: “As a man lay dying, it’s not just this life that passes before his eyes, but that of several lifetimes shared with one woman.”
I think I’m having a block with this because I have too many of the big concepts stuck in my head.
Thanks,
Doc
Seems like just an idea. A setup for a story, and not the story itself.
What is he trying to do? Find love? And what’s standing in his way of getting this. Other than his impending death.
I wouldn’t watch a movie based on this logline. There’s not enough to make me interested.
