Plot

In the near future, the earth will heat up more and more, so that droughts and famine will plague humanity. In 2063 science finds a planet suitable for colonization, whose colonization should ensure the existence of mankind. The crew of the colonization spaceship Humanitas is intended to reproduce during the 86 year long journey so that their grandchildren finally will reach the target planet. For this purpose, 30 ARTs are bred from the genome of intelligent people. They grow up to be children in complete isolation so that they will not miss the earth during their lonely mission. For their later tasks on board the spaceship, they are trained by the scientist Richard, who finally decides to accompany the children on the flight with no return, in order to protect them from the dangers of the journey.

Ten years after the start of Humanitas, the children have grown into teenagers. Everyone has special tasks on board, which are monitored by Richard and which everyone does routinely and docilely. One day the botanist Christopher accidentally discovers that the blue drink everyone takes after meals contains an unknown substance. He hacks into the computer and learns that the substance is a drug that keeps their personality dull and docile, and suppresses their sex drive. Christopher and his best friend Zac decide to stop taking the drink and experience emotions and desire for the first time. During a routine conversation with Richard, Christopher reveals that he has detected a secret chamber in the board plans. Richard explains that this is reserved for the third generation on board. He informs mission control on Earth that the children are beginning to lose trust in him and that he wants to tell them the truth about everything, but the answer will take over two months (about 71 days) because of the distance. This implies that the ship is now 1/10 of one light year (36 light days) away from Earth.
