為了更好的理解人生，并且找尋自身生活的意義，導(dǎo)演及攝影師王一男在2011年開始了一段永生難忘的尋訪之旅。
　　六個(gè)月的時(shí)間，他驅(qū)車4萬公里，走遍加拿大，尋找100名受訪者，詢問他們同一組關(guān)于人生的問題。受訪人的年齡從一歲到一百歲，一個(gè)年齡一人，一百名受訪者出生于1912年到2011年的每一年里，整整橫跨一個(gè)世紀(jì)。
　　在旅途結(jié)束時(shí)，變成了一百份關(guān)于生命，關(guān)于夢(mèng)想，關(guān)于成功與幸福的真實(shí)的視頻記錄。他會(huì)從這一百名陌生人身上聽到的關(guān)于人生不同階段的回答中受到啟發(fā)從而找到屬于自己的答案嗎？
　　Recorded by Chinese-born Canadian documentarian Wang Yinan during a ten-month odyssey across his adoptive nation, Being Towards Death i s a singularly Canadian rhapsody that weaves together the stark voices of an otherwise unconnected - and certainly unsung - set of Canadians, whose ages range from one to 100. Confronted with a standard battery of frank questions about life, and shot statically against the backdrop in their homes or workplaces, this film's mundane stars open up to a stranger about their everyday struggles with work, love, loss and in so doing offer fascinating insights into what it means to live.
