This film is about a strange disease that kills some of the richest and most influential people in the world. First, it attacked billionaires, then multimillionaires and it goes down the ladder of success. The disease threatens to kill anyone who has any kind of material wealth.

' Rich Flu' is a story full of twists and turns, obstacles and surprises, but above all, it is a complex and provocative emotional journey to the depths of the human soul and the culmination of our magnificent selfishness`, as the director describes it.
The film will make us reconsider our view of wealth and success. The filming is set to start in the fall of this year. It will be launched at the virtual European Film Market in Berlin. Not only it will give us the chance to think about what we consider wealth, but it will also give us another chance to see Pike in a completely different role from what we have seen from her in the past.
