Anhedonia

In the year 2020, billions of people are overwhelmed daily by the digital, media-driven, narcissistic, hedonistic, career-focused, and consumer-oriented influences imposed by society. In a mysterious and still unexplained phenomenon, hundreds of millions in the developed world suddenly and widely suffer from Anhedonia, a condition that robs them of the ability to experience pleasure and satisfaction. Among the notable sufferers are Franz and Fritz Freudenthal, two aristocratic brothers who, despite their differences, are inseparable. Stripped of purpose and plagued by their bleak, joyless lives, they gradually deteriorate until they discover the innovative pleasure-inducing therapy offered by the globally acclaimed and fashionable Prof. Dr. Immanuel Young, which they believe holds the key to resolving their woes.
