為了更好的理解人生，並且找尋自身生活的意義，導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。
　　六個月的時間，他驅車4萬公里，走遍加拿大，尋找100名受訪者，詢問他們同一組關於人生的問題。受訪人的年齡從一歲到一百歲，一個年齡一人，一百名受訪者出生於1912年到2011年的每一年里，整整橫跨一個世紀。
　　在旅途結束時，變成了一百份關於生命，關於夢想，關於成功與幸福的真實的視頻記錄。他會從這一百名陌生人身上聽到的關於人生不同階段的回答中受到啟發從而找到屬於自己的答案嗎？
　　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.
