synopsis
A young Danish chemist named Erik Poulsen makes, on the basis of the current understanding of physics and chemistry, an epoch-changing discovery - how to transform any base metal into gold. Erik, who does not care about money but only for science, thinks to now be able to make himself a name among the greats in world history. None of the countries of the world, whose monetary systems are based on the gold standard,, will accept the disclosure of the formula as such a revelation will cause a total collapse of the global economy. Instead of fame Erik and his family flee from one country to another in constant fear of those in power, military, and secret police.
