Eva and Max Gruber enjoy a healthy marriage. While she works as a journalist in the cultural sector, he is an independent artist teaching at a local college.

It took another two decades and a world war for him and others to succeed in producing the antibiotic in such large quantities that the epidemics of that time – typhus, syphilis, gangrene and tuberculosis – could be eradicated.

Penicillin was used on a large scale for the first time during the Allied offensive against Nazi Germany in 1944. After the war, the drug was then offered over pharmacy counters in the US in the form of chewing gum to treat sore throats. Can we stop the trend today? A fascinating film about the history and current state of antibiotics.
