VOM DUFT DER ROTEN BEETE UND DEN MENSCHEN, die ewig leben
[the scent of beetroot and the people who live forever]



In "Vom Duft der Roten Beete und den Menschen, die ewig leben" [engl. Scent of beetroot and the people who live forever] a scientist discovers the key to immortality - by means of a special vegetable: beetroot! Those who surround themselves with its scent will live forever. Through the excessive use of the beet scent, an impenetrable magenta atmosphere soon envelops the entire planet. Immortality spreads like a virus: death is now not only avoidable, but impossible.
An absurd array of images from a utopian dystrophy – or a dystopian utopia – with a wilful aftertaste.







The film has been awarded the "Prädikat wertvoll" by the official German film and media rating agency: https://www.fbw-filmbewertung.com/film/vomduftderotenbeete
