Synopsis

The future is uncertain. The disease is unknown, but its dead are found in embryonic repose. In Peter Fleischmann’s prescient existential wail, a band of misfits, including Jodorowsky collaborator Fernando Arrabal (VIVA LA MUERTE), attempt to flee the pandemic-induced hysteria gripping Germany. Featuring the music of Jean-Michel Jarre. Co-written by Roland Topor, the visionary artist behind FANTASTIC PLANET and MARQUIS.
