In early 1945, Werner Heisenberg's nuclear reactor experiment B8 in the plutonic cave of Haigerloch, Germany, ignites an iconic setup: 664 uranium cubes on chains longing for criticality while hovering over a pool of heavy water. Right above the rock of the cave rests a church hosting Jesus Christ on the cross. As it turns out, the Son of God is hovering over the heavy waters from the reactor pool right below, a transmutation of Genesis 1-2, where the Spirit of God is hovering over the waters. The name of the church is Trinity, just like the code name of the first atomic bomb, that was detonated a few months later in New Mexico in an effort to supersede Heisenberg's effort believing whoever had the bomb first would win the war; and as a final result irreversibly transforming the atmosphere into the atomsphere. Filmed on the "Day of the Sun", a public holiday in North Korea, Nietzsche's expectation of the "abyss of light" is put into new enigmatic context, where humankind, through the application and "mastery" of atomic processes, begins to create a new planetary environment through the transmutation of elements and minds: the epoch of the nuclear Übermensch.
