Description

The two visionary developers of Denmark's first allergen extract, Kaj Hedemann Baagøe and Peter Barfod, have two problems: The first is simple. They start to get old. The second is a head-scratcher and something they can’t seem to solve. So they need to pass on the torch to someone else. And here the young and ambitious biochemist Henning Løwenstein enters the story. Together with a colleague of his they research one simple idea that has the potential to change everything.
