Synopsis de Mr. Nobody
—————————————————————————————-
RIEN N’EST REEL TOIJT EST POSSIBLE.
Nemo (Jared Leto) a trente-cinq ans. Il m?ne une existence ordinaire aux c?t?s de sa femme, Elise (Sarah Polley) et de leurs trois enfants jusqu’au jour o? la r?alit? semble d?raper : des panneaux publicitaires lui adressent des messages personnels ; il croise des inconnus qui lui ressemblent ?trangement ; il d?couvre, derri?re les fa?ades en carton-p?te de la ville, une plage o? d’?normes blocs de mer sont assembl?s par des h?licopt?res. Nemo se r?veille. Il est au fond d’un lac, en train de se noyer, prisonnier de sa voiture. Il se r?veille encore, face ? un inconnu qui lui tire une balle en pleine poitrine. Il se r?veille encore, au bord de la piscine d’une splendide villa, avec une nouvelle femme et de nouveaux enfants qu’il ne reconna?t pas. Est-ce encore un r?ve ?

Nous sommes en 2092. Mars est devenue une destination de vacances ? la mode, et les avanc?es de la g?n?tique ont rendu les hommes immortels. ? cent vingt ans, le vieux Nerno est le dernier mortel sur Terre. Sa mort est proche. Les m?dias du monde entier s’emparent de l’?v?nement. Le vieux Nemo ne se souvient pas vraiment qui il est. Ce n’est que sous hypnose que des bribes de souvenirs incoh?rents lui reviennent.

Nerno a sept ans. Parfois il fait des r?ves pr?monitoires, mais il ne sait pas s’il doit croire. La vie r?serve ? Nemo un ?ventail infini de possibilit?s. Dans sa rue vivent trois petites filles : Anna, Elise et Jeanne. Laquelle choisir ? Tant qu’il n’a rien d?cid?, tout peut encore arriver. Mais quand ses parents se s?parent sur le quai d’une gare, Nemo est forc? de faire un choix. Le choix est impossible, et la vie de Nemo se divise en deux. Le petit gar?on se retrouve projet? dans une multitude d’avenirs possibles, dans un univers chaotique o? rien n’est d? au hasard mais o? rien n’est pr?visible. Un monde o? le futur est aussi impr?visible que le dessin form? par les volutes de fum?e d’une cigarette et dans lequel le battement d’ailes d’un papillon au Japon peut d?clencher des temp?tes ? l’autre bout du monde.

Deux vies de Nemo se d?roulent de part et d’autre de l’oc?an : la vie avec sa m?re, la vie avec son p?re. Les ann?es passent. ? seize ans, un Nemo vit en Angleterre o? il s’occupe de son p?re, devenu infirme. Il r?ve de la vie sur Mars. Il tombe amoureux d’Elise. Elle le rejette et il se tourne alors vers Jeanne. A l’autre bout du monde, en Am?rique du Nord, l’autre Nemo tombe amoureux d’Anna. C’est la fille de l’amant de sa m?re. Nemo et Anna s’aiment en secret, avec passion. Ils passent les nuits ensemble et Nemo regagne sa chambre en cachette au petit matin. Ce sont les ann?es de bonheur. Jusqu’au jour o? la m?re de Nemo et le p?re d’Anna se s?parent ? leur tour. D?chir?, Nemo attend le retour d’Anna. Il perd sa trac?. Il l’attend, des ann?es durant.
