The great voyages to the "New World" were seen as expanding the frontiers of the visible and displacing those of the invisible. Therefore, maps from that time render the real and the imaginary. The film follows a voyage of the Brazilian Military in search of an imaginary island with the same name as their country. Hy-Brazil is known to allegedly exist to the west of Ireland and above the Fortunate Islands. Vision of Paradise is an examination of the capacity of the human imagination and computer simulations to construct environments. Amidst the fine threshold of the real, simulated, and imagined, the film analyzes the contemporary ideas of virtual reality and their ambition to expand the frontiers of the physical world into a "New World".
