The Makropulos Affair (The Secret of Eternal Youth)

After Karel Capek

Eternal youth raises eternal questions. How do we value our one, unrepeatable life with all its joyful and painful moments? And how important is it to be mortal?

In the 16th century, Emperor Rudolf II lies dying. In his desperation, he orders his personal physician Makropulos to develop a life-extending elixir.

In the 21st century, a mysterious figure suddenly appears who seems inexplicably young. It seems she guards the secret of eternal youth.
