DIE GESCHÜTZTEN MÄNNER

THE PROTECTED MEN

Germany, just before the election. Anita Martinelli (Britta Hammelstein) and Sarah Bedford (Mavie Hörbiger) pursue ambitious political goals with their women‘s party. They campaign for a systemic change that puts ecology, equality, and sustainability at the forefront. However, during the election campaign, a new virus breaks out that only affects men. The symptoms: uncontrollable sexual aggression, assaults on women, and sudden death of the infected at the peak of arousal. Soon, a new gender war erupts. When the Chancellor (Godehard Giese) falls victim to the virus, the women take control of the government. Anita’s husband Ralph (Yousef Sweid) and his research team are tasked with developing a vaccin.
