Morin (2023)

Germany in the near future: Eleven-year-old Morin is happy when he passes the entrance test at one of the prestigious kids academies that focuses on "space research". With such academies, leading business companies are already looking for the top performers of the future among primary school students. Morin's parents Katja and Steven are extremely proud because in this way Morin is receiving a school education at the highest level. Ambitiously, Morin throws himself into the exciting, ultra-modern school life and into his dream of an expedition to Mars. He receives active support from Leona, a hologram AI. And he needs that too. Because the pressure to perform is enormous. Using innovative but also manipulative psychological methods, school principal Lynn Lomann and teacher Konrad Dramm demand top performance and do everything they can to ensure that the children become the country's new bearers of hope. Morin begins to change and after a dramatic incident at the Academy, he has to ask himself what price he is willing to pay for his dream of Mars and the future.
