Science Fiction

The McBee family has erected a government over a future 'colony', that looks like a run-down Paris divided into sectors by the Berlin Wall. All male family members suffer from a mysterious disease and are in urgent need of organ transplants. The perfect donor, Tykho Moon, probably has been killed in a fire, but according to rumours he's still alive. Although assassins stalk the family members, the McBees start a hunt for Tykho. Trying to escape the dragnet, Alex, a sculptor, meets Lena, a killer posing as a whore.

VIBE

A grim, atmospheric journey through a decaying world. It's a visually striking, character-driven piece that emphasizes mood and a sense of pervasive dread over action. Feels like a fever dream.
