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. The scientist, responsible for the planet's immortality, doubts the usefulness of his ingenious discovery. Has his invention ultimately done more harm than good? Should he take back his gift to mankind?







"The scent of beetroot and people who live forever" is my graduation film, which I completed with my animation collective fishyfilms. It will be sent to festivals from 2023 onwards and I'm looking forward to hopefully see it being appreciated by a lot of people. Follow me and stay tuned.
