Never has love been so dark and the apocalypse so entertaining. Women have taken over the government, pills grant eternal youth, religious doomsday sects are sprouting up like mushrooms, and a frustrated man casually chains his wife in the basement. We are in the year 2031: state feminism, heatwaves, hurricanes, apocalyptic vibes, and a 50-year class reunion at the 'Ehrlich' pub in a Hamburg suburb. Thanks to the rejuvenation pill Ephebo, which also grants Sebastian Bürger his good looks, the classmates in their prime retirement age all look like they are in their twenties or thirties again, and when Sebastian meets his secret teenage love, Elli, he is smitten. Who cares that the cancer rate of Ephebo is 60% within the next ten years? Everything could be so perfect if it weren't for Sebastian's wife, the former Minister of the Environment.
