This German sci-fi film hit Netflix hard on July 27th. Fans have been discussing the logistics, morals, and everything else about its premise. This is why it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Paradise is #7 on the streamer in the USA. Here’s everything we know about this unstoppable movie. 

Netflix Official Synopsis

“Trade your life – for money: In the not-too-distant future, a method of transferring years of your life from one person to another has changed the world forever and turned biotech start-up AEON into a billion-dollar pharmaceutical company.

Max and Elena live an almost perfect life. But when the couple is faced with unexpected insurance claims that they can’t pay, everything changes in an instant. To pay off their debts, Elena (Marlene Tanzcik) must “pay” 40 years of her life. Robbed of their future together, the two stand in front of the ruins of their life. Max (Kostja Ullmann), who works for AEON, tries everything he can to get Elena’s lost years back. But nothing will ever be as it was.”
