Ad Vitam : Season 1

Death is now a thing of the past. Science has developed the "regeneration", a rejuvenation that offers adults the opportunity to stop the aging of their cells, ad vitam aeternam. A world where overpopulation lurks, where the right to die has become a claim, and where the doyenne of humanity celebrates 169 years. The bodies of seven young suicides are found on a beach. Darius Asram, a cop who wearily loses the weight of his 119 years, investigation. He seeks the help of Christa, an unstable girl

Darius focuses his investigation on Virgil Berti, the young leader of Avenir, a foundation that offers youth a place to welcome and live. Christa, returning to live with her parents, expresses her disgust with a world that imposes eternity as a social norm. If she agreed to collaborate with Darius, it's because she pursues a secret desire for revenge. Linus, a marginal woman she knew ten years ago, offers her help.

Darius and his team continue to search for the missing. They try to go back up the channels and understand the connections between the young people. Trying to retrieve his friend's body at the morgue, Linus is arrested. But he resists interrogations and Darius and the other police clash with his silence. Darius' disarray deepens when he learns that Béat, his wife, is pregnant. Christa decides to implement his project of revenge while at the police station, a tragedy occurs ...

A macabre discovery leads Darius to investigate with Christa in the desert expanse that surrounds the city. This journey brings them closer, and they get to know each other better. In the middle of the desert, they discover a disused sanatorium, which contains the violent traces of the passage of many young people.

Spotlight on Virgil Berti, the leader of the Avenir Foundation. Ten years earlier, he was a seemingly uneventful teenager, but his peacefulness concealed strange activities. Ten years ago, his life took a violent and tragic turn. It is he whom Christa has recognized and seeks relentlessly ... to the point of putting herself in danger.

Darius discovers the death of Virgil Berti. But following the disappearance of Christa, he is dismissed from the police for negligence. He begins his reconversion and tries to reconnect with Béat, without success. Obsessed by his investigation, he goes out alone in search of Christa. He discovers the existence of secret links between the Avenir Foundation and the Stern Museum, a temple of regeneration.
