About Paradise
Trade your life for money: In the not-too-distant future, a method of transferring years of your life from one person to another has changed the world forever and turned biotech start-up AEON into a billion-dollar pharmaceutical company.
Max and Elena live an almost perfect life. But when the couple is faced with unexpected insurance claims that they can’t pay, everything quickly changes. To pay off their debts, Elena (Marlene Tanczik) must “pay” with 40 years of her life. Robbed of their life together, their future lies in tatters. Max (Kostja Ullmann), who works for AEON, tries everything he can to get Elena’s lost years back. But nothing will ever be the same again.
The gripping thriller set in the near-future was produced by Simon Amberger, Korbinian Dufter and Rafael Parente from NEUESUPER GmbH (Hindafing, Luden).
