"The Smallest Perfect Universe" is a 30 min computer-animated movie about PG(3,2), the smallest projective space.

In this elementary guided tour of PG(3,2), the two most beautiful spatial models of this space are constructed. Using these models, some of the most important properties and substructures of projective spaces are investigated.

Examples for these substructures are: planes (Fano planes), elliptic quadrics ("spheres"), hyerbolic quadrics, spreads (partitions of the points into lines), packings (Kirkman's schoolgirls problem), Desargues configuration (God's fingerprint), etc.
