The McBee family has erected a government over a future 'colony', that looks like a run-down Paris divided into sectors by the Berlin Wall. All male family members suffer from a mysterious disease and are in urgent need of organ transplants. The perfect donor, Tykho Moon, probably has been killed in a fire, but according to rumours he's still alive. Although assassins stalk the family members, the McBees start a hunt for Tykho. Trying to escape the dragnet, Alex, a sculptor, meets Lena, a killer posing as a whore.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Enki Bilal adapted this from his own 'La Foire aux immortels' graphic novel, keeping the comic's washed-out color palette.
The 1996 Berlin Wall references felt dated until 2022—now the divided city aesthetic hits uncomfortably current.
