TOXISCHE MÄNNER

In the organizer's words:

"dear humans. hello. nice to meet you." In the near future, the benevolent ruler AI kim has replaced the internet in order to bring order to the man-made chaos. kim calculates that male power fantasies and the resulting gender struggle are the cause of much evil. So without further ado, kim creates a gender-segregated world in which medicine is highly developed, everyone has a meaningful job and is optimally cared for beyond overproduction. While kim dreams of this seductive peace, Prometheus - the first man to rise up against the gods and thus found civilization - has to endure his liver being eaten. He begins to resist the divine punishment and plans to overthrow kim begin to take shape. Should they cut kim's cable?
