a film by Shu Lea Cheang

Produced by Jürgen Brüning Filmproduktion in coproduction with amard bird films

Narrative feature, 80 min, DE 2017

 

World Premiere at Berlinale 2017 - Panorama Section

 

FLUIDØ is VIRUS, SEX, HACK, DRUG & CONSPIRACY.

Set in the post-AIDS future of 2060, where the Government is the first to declare the era AIDS FREE, mutated AIDS viruses give birth to ZERO GEN - humans that have genetically evolved in a very unique way. These gender fluid ZERO GENs are the bio-drug carriers whose white fluid is the hypernarcotic for the 21st century, taking over the markets of the 20th century white powder high.

​

A new war on drugs begins and the ZERO GEN are declared illegal. The Government dispatches drug-resistant replicants for round-up arrest missions. When one of these government android's immunity breaks down and its pleasure centers are activated, the story becomes a tangled multi-thread plot and the ZERO GENs are caught among underground drug lords, glitched super agents, a scheming corporation and a corrupt government.
