Rich Flu(2026)

Storyline

• A strange and unexpected disease is taking the lives of the world's wealthiest and most influential people. First, the billionaires die, then the multi-millionaires, and so on progressively. The pandemic threatens to reach anyone with any kind of fortune. No one knows where the limit is. At first, the masses joyfully welcome the disappearance of great fortunes, but as the collapse of their economic empires affects the stock market, employment, and economic stability, chaos takes over the First World. — TIFF No one knows how or when it started, but one thing is clear: an unstoppable, virulent disease has taken hold of our world, targeting the wealthy and shaking the foundations of free-market democracy. For ambitious executive Laura, this devastating global phenomenon comes at the worst possible time; just as she was ready to break into the upper echelon and secure a life free from financial worries, the strange pandemic turned her world upside down. The "rich flu" first wipes out the mega-billionaires; the millionaires and the rest of the plutocrats are next. Now, the only way to survive this economic Armageddon is to renounce your fortune or suffer dire consequences. But when your life depends on letting go of possessions, where do you start? — Nick Riganas
