Mehed kaitse alla!
Satirical and bold thriller of a hypothetical world ruled by women.
“Protected Men” plunges viewers into a dystopic Germany transformed by a mysterious illness that strikes only men, leading to a dramatic government takeover by women. Tasked with creating a vaccine, the “protected men” find themselves caught in a web of deception spun by Chancellor Sarah Bedford, who will stop at nothing to cling to power. As scientist Anita Martinelli uncovers Sarah’s treacherous plot, she faces an impossible choice: will she expose the truth and risk everything, or will the regime’s oppressive grip tighten forever? As she prepares to act, a shocking revelation threatens to change everything.
