The Cell is the first in a docu-drama collection in the field of science where each film takes as its departure point a "probable" situation in the future in order to understand what we can do today to avoid potential disasters.

The year is 2026. Solera, an exclusive retirement community in the south of France, has won the local Senior Olympics for third year running. Its residents suffer from strokes, diabetes, heart disease, Alzhemier's disease - all the ailments of old age. But now many of these diseases can be cured or contained with the latest stem cell therapies. The old are getting younger, and death is being postponed. A young TV reporter, Ella, finds that Solera is not what it seems; the residents are guinea pigs, on the cutting edge of medical research. The Cell is Ella's investigation.
