That’s the main plot of a new movie available on Netflix, where a biotech company buys years of life from people desperate for money to rejuvenate the richest.
At present, figures like Jeff Bezos they are financing laboratories with the purpose of discovering the “elixir of life” and stopping the aging process. This kind of search for immortality, undertaken by the wealthiest people on the planet, has been brought to the big screen in a feature film called Paradise.
Released on July 27, it is about a german thriller science fiction that raises profound questions about how much we would be willing to sacrifice to secure our economic future. For example, what if that sacrifice involved giving up our own youth or that of a loved one to transfer it to people like Bezos?
Thus, the futuristic dystopia explores —in the style of Black Mirror— the growing gap between rich and poor. And, in this case, the gap is not limited only to economics, but extends to years of life, with the poor living little and the rich enjoying long lives thanks to this new technology that is in the hands of a multinational pharmaceutical called AEON.
The plot centers on Max, a man who works for this company, whose wife, Elena, is forced to give up 40 years to pay off a debt. However, realizing that these years served to rejuvenate the director of AEON, the couple will do everything possible to recover those years, which will trigger a manhunt that will take them to the limits of their own moral concepts.
