Transfer
Germany in the near future. With the personality transfer, the genetic engineering company “Menzana” succeeds in taking the decisive step towards eternal youth. For the very old Hermann and his seriously ill wife Anna, the age-old dream of eternal life comes true. At “Menzana” they buy the young, attractive bodies of Apolain and Sarah for a million euros. The transfer gives Hermann and Anna control over the two black Africans during the day. Only at night can Apolain and Sarah be themselves again for four hours …
Damir Lukačević’s second feature film consistently rethinks our youth cult and the already flourishing trade in human organs from the Third World in a multi-layered and frightening vision of the future.
