Logline

A world premiere: Luis August Krawen and the ensemble of the Münchner Kammerspiele transform Leif Randt’s bizarre utopian science-fiction novel into a dazzlingly theatrical feature film.

In a distant solar system, people are governed by the computerized rationality of “ActualSanity”. Political involvement no longer seems necessary in this AI-driven, totalitarian nanny state, until terrorist attacks suddenly rock this community of planets.
