FILM IDEA: The plot of the film "Der Schmerzen-Blues" is about the alien Luarvik, who arrived on Earth on the spaceship 3I/ATLAS. Our hero 100 million years ago left a figurine with electronic filling on the territory of modern Argentina to monitor events on Earth.


But in 1956, German professor Alexander Gasteig, while searching for dinosaur remains in Argentina, came across a cache with a figurine. Experts carefully extracted and cleaned this ancient artifact. However, their joy did not last long. The scientific community of that time considered the figurine a fake.


Due to persecution for falsifying the artifact, the professor hid the figurine in Munich in the vicinity of Blutenburg Castle. In one of the museums in Argentina, Luarvik found a pencil sketch of a figurine with the professor's initials. The drawing brought Luarvik to Munich.


In December 2025, Luarvik, trying to find the figurine, met Professor Gasteig's granddaughter, the beautiful Valeria. Luarvik fell in love with Valeria, but could not take her with him. In an attempt to take possession of the figurine and the priceless information it contained, mafia structures, businessmen and intelligence agencies entered into a confrontation with Luarvik.


Among other secrets, the figurine contained recipes for immortality and metamorphosis (recipes for essences similar to ointment "unguentum morphosis"). Such recipes were telepathically transmitted by the figurines to a limited number of people. The use of these ointments led to the appearance of immortal chimeras on Earth, which was also part of Luarvik's research.


The leitmotif of the film is the heartbreaking blues "Der Schmerzen-Blues". The song in the film is performed by the main character Valeria. Luarvik could not take her with him, since she would have died in the conditions of the 3I/ATLAS ship.


Although Luarvik looked like a human, he was able to withstand extreme overloads. And in general, he is practically immortal. Luarvik is more than 100 million years old. He has a special mission - to monitor planets with the help of figures with electronic filling. There were several such figures. However, they were not taken away for a long time, and they stopped sending stable signals. The batteries of the transmitters were almost discharged. Therefore, the figures were difficult to find after such a period of time. There was, apparently, a reason why Luarvik could not arrive earlier.


The mafia began to hunt for the figure and Luarvik, since there was an information leak. There were also some technical problems.


The sources of inspiration for the film are the works of the Strugatsky brothers and articles from the bibliography. The film is permeated with the atmosphere of Argentine tango and sensual blues.

Extended information about the film's characters:


The plot of Der Schmerzen-Blues revolves around Luarvik, an ancient, near-immortal alien from the spaceship 3I/ATLAS, tasked with a mission to monitor planets using advanced figurines with electronic components. Over 100 million years ago, he placed one such figurine in what is now Argentina to track Earth"s events. Each figurine is a technological marvel, embedded with systems capable of storing vast amounts of information, including environmental data and, notably, advanced knowledge such as recipes for immortality and metamorphosis (e.g., essences like "unguentum morphosis").


These artifacts were strategically placed in remote locations to ensure long-term functionality, with the one in modern-day Argentina being a key example. Luarvik"s mission involves periodically revisiting these planets to retrieve or maintain the figurines, ensuring the continuity of data collection and safeguarding the sensitive information they hold. These figurines not only collect data but also telepathically transmit secret knowledge, including recipes for immortality and metamorphosis (similar to "unguentum morphosis"), to a select few. This process has inadvertently created immortal chimeras on Earth, which forms part of Luarvik"s research into planetary life forms.


In 1956, German professor Alexander Gasteig discovers the figurine while excavating dinosaur remains in Argentina. Initially celebrated, the artifact is dismissed as a fake by the scientific community, leading to Gasteig"s persecution. To protect it, he hides the figurine near Blutenburg Castle in Munich.


In December 2025, Luarvik, guided by a pencil sketch of the figurine found in an Argentine museum, arrives in Munich to retrieve it. There, he meets and falls in love with Valeria, Gasteig"s granddaughter, who performs the film"s haunting theme, the Schmerzen-Blues, infused with the sensual tones of Argentine tango and blues.


Luarvik"s mission is complicated by the figurine"s weakened signal, as its battery, designed to last millions of years, is nearly depleted, making retrieval difficult. Unspecified technical issues or cosmic constraints delayed his return to Earth, leaving the figurine vulnerable. These artifacts were strategically placed in remote locations to ensure long-term functionality, with the one in modern-day Argentina being a key example. Luarvik"s mission involves periodically revisiting these planets to retrieve or maintain the figurines, ensuring the continuity of data collection and safeguarding the sensitive information they hold.However, the mission faces significant challenges. The figurines" power sources, designed to last millions of years, are nearing depletion by 2025, causing their signals to weaken and making them difficult to locate. This delay in retrieval - potentially due to technical issues with the 3I/ATLAS ship, navigational challenges, or other unspecified cosmic constraints - has left the figurines vulnerable to discovery by unintended parties, as seen with Professor Gasteig"s find in 1956. Luarvik"s inability to return earlier suggests limitations in his civilization"s technology or scheduling, possibly tied to vast interstellar distances or energy constraints.


An information leak sparks a race among mafia groups, businessmen, and intelligence agencies to seize the figurine"s secrets, putting Luarvik in direct conflict with these factions. Despite his human-like appearance, Luarvik"s superhuman resilience and immortality enable him to endure extreme conditions, unlike Valeria, who cannot survive the 3I/ATLAS ship"s environment, forcing him to leave her behind despite their love. Luarvik"s broader mission involves deploying and maintaining multiple figurines across various planets to monitor their development. The creation of immortal chimeras via telepathic transmission of the figurine"s recipes suggests his civilization is studying the long-term effects of such interventions on planetary ecosystems.


The mission"s emotional weight is amplified by Luarvik"s encounter with Valeria. His growing affection for her conflicts with his duty, as taking her aboard the 3I/ATLAS would be fatal due to the ship"s extreme conditions, tailored to his unique physiology. This tension underscores the isolating nature of his eternal task, with the figurines symbolizing both his connection to his civilization and his detachment from the worlds he observes. Luarvik"s mission, thus, is not just a technical endeavor but a profound, solitary journey marked by duty, sacrifice, and the fleeting connections he forms across millennia.


A parallel plot of the film is the story of the creation of the ointment "unguentum morphosis" and the appearance of chimeras on Earth, documented in the memory of the figurine and in the manuscript of Duchess Anna, a copy of which was taken possession of by Luarvik.


The film, inspired by the Strugatsky brothers" works and related bibliography, explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and forbidden love, with the atmosphere of Argentine tango and sensual blues amplifying its emotional depth. The pursuit of the figurine, combined with Luarvik"s ancient mission and the unintended consequences of his research, drives the narrative"s tension and heartbreak.


Film Idea:


Genre: Sci-Fi Romantic Thriller/Musical


Setting: Munich, December 2025, with flashbacks to 1956 Argentina, Bavaria 15th century and glimpses of the cosmic 3I/ATLAS spacecraft


Logline: Luarvik, an immortal alien searching for a 100-million-year-old figurine buried on Earth, falls in love with Valeria, a soulful singer and granddaughter of the professor who hid it, but their romance and the figurine's secrets of immortality spark a deadly chase by mafia, spies, and corporations, set to the haunting melody of "Der Schmerzen-Blues".


Plot Summary: Luarvik, a 100-million-year-old alien from the 3I/ATLAS spacecraft, arrives in Munich to recover a figurine he placed in modern-day Argentina eons ago. The figurine, an advanced device monitoring Earth's development, contains secrets of immortality. In 1956, German professor Alexander Gasteig unearthed it while excavating dinosaur remains, but the scientific community dismissed it as a hoax, forcing him to hide it near Blutenburg Castle in Munich. Disgraced, he left only a pencil sketch in an Argentine museum, bearing his initials. In December 2025, Luarvik, appearing human but capable of withstanding extreme conditions, traces the sketch to Munich. There, he meets Valeria, professor Gasteig's granddaughter, a captivating singer performing "Der Schmerzen-Blues" in smoky jazz clubs. The song, a haunting melody she claims came to her in a dream, inexplicably resonates with Luarvik, echoing the cosmic frequencies of his figurine. As they grow closer, Luarvik falls in love with Valeria, but his biology-designed for the 3I/ATLAS's harsh environment-means she cannot survive aboard his ship.The figurine's existence leaks, drawing a ruthless mafia syndicate, corporate tech moguls, and intelligence agencies into a deadly hunt. They seek the Essenz "unguentum morphosis" formulas, which promise eternal life and physical transformation. Luarvik, nearly immortal but weakened by Earth's environment, faces technical glitches in his mission: the figurine's battery practically died millennia ago, making it hard to locate, and his own systems falter after eons without maintenance. As Valeria uncovers her grandfather's journals, she learns the figurine's hiding place but becomes a target herself. The chase culminates in a tense showdown near Blutenburg Castle, where Luarvik must outwit his pursuers to retrieve the figurine. Torn between his mission and his love for Valeria, he faces an impossible choice: take the figurine and leave Earth, abandoning her, or risk everything to protect her and the secrets that could alter humanity's fate. The Schmerzen-Blues, sung by Valeria, weaves through the film, its soulful notes amplifying the emotional weight of their doomed romance and Luarvik's cosmic burden.


Key Elements:


Luarvik: An ancient, humanoid alien with a timeless face and subtle, otherworldly mannerisms. His immortality and mission mask a deep loneliness, stirred by Valeria's music.


Valeria: A passionate, fiercely independent singer in her late 20s, with a voice that carries her grandfather's unresolved legacy. Her performance of the Schmerzen-Blues is both cathartic and mystical.


Other characters: Agnes, Albrecht, Johannes, Anna, the Roman Valeria, etc.


The Figurine: A sleek, obsidian-like artifact, 100 million years old, with glowing circuits that store the "unguentum morphosis" formulas. Its signal, though faint, resonates with Valeria's song.


Visual Style: Munich's wintery streets and historic castles contrast with the sterile, luminescent interior of the 3I/ATLAS. Flashbacks to 1956 Argentina are sepia-toned, while cosmic scenes are vivid and surreal.


Soundtrack: Valeria's "Der Schmerzen-Blues" anchors the score, blending raw blues with alien, ambient tones. Munich's jazz and tango scenes add local flavor.


Themes: Love across impossible divides, the ethics of immortality, and the collision of human ambition with cosmic responsibility.


3I/ATLAS: A colossal, orbiting archive of universal knowledge, its design blending organic and mechanical elements. It's Luarvik's home but a death trap for humans.


Key Scene: In a dimly lit Munich jazz club, Valeria sings "Der Schmerzen-Blues" as Luarvik watches, entranced. The camera pans to reveal mafia enforcers in the crowd, eyeing him. As Valeria's voice hits a piercing note, the figurine-hidden in her bag-emits a faint glow, syncing with the song. Luarvik's eyes flicker with recognition, but a sniper's laser dot appears on his chest, freezing the moment in suspense.


Cultural Context: Munich's historic and modern blend (Blutenburg Castle, jazz and tango clubs) grounds the sci-fi in a relatable setting. Valeria's German-Argentine heritage ties to Germany's immigrant narratives, adding depth to her character. The film's exploration of scientific dismissal (professor Gasteig's disgrace) resonates with Germany's history of intellectual rigor and skepticism. The Schmerzen-Blues, while sung by Valeria, is tied to Luarvik's cosmic mission, suggesting the melody is a universal expression of pain he's carried for eons.
