Journalist Stephen S. Power conducts three interviewers with director Bryan, later Brynne, Sebold about Sebold's Mars trilogy, a series of movies depicting the discovery, retrieval, and translation of an artifact found on Mars. The first movie, released in 2018, is The Mars Light. That film culminated in the discovery of a book on Mars named the Gold Book. The book was found on Mars' Mount Sharp. Sebold's team observed it from afar, all of the camerawork done remotely. As she discusses the film, Sebold is cocky but confident that this is just the beginning of human knowledge about Mars. Power meets with Sebold again in 2027 to discuss Sebold's new film, The Gold Book. The film is about the eponymous book being retrieved from Mars by a team of scientists. It ends with scientists sifting through the book, wondering how they could decode its mysterious writing. Sebold is confident that the power of Earth's million creative minds will lead to the book's contents eventually being translated. Power's third interview takes place in 2039 after the release of The Floating Earth. This film is a cinematic representation of the contents of the Gold Book, which were made accessible to the public after mankind managed to translate them. According to the book, there were many whales at the start of the universe that orbited around space; the Gold Book is the story from the perspective of one particular whale, whose journey ended on Mars. Sebold's film follows the whale drifting along space in real-time, meaning that people could spend their entire lives watching her film. At the interview's end, Sebold hypothesizes that there will be many more gold books found on Mars, and she's prepared to make more films about them when that happens.
