Have you backed up your biometric data today? It’s 2041 and everybody has a constitutional right to be revived in the event of an unnatural death thanks to new technology. Absolute murder becomes almost impossible, so when such a case presents itself, ambitious young detective Em Trochinowska jumps at the opportunity and teams up with David, witness to the crime and head researcher of the new technology.

But nothing is as it seems and they are soon on the run pursued by a slippery Europol agent (Vaclav Neuzil) and a rebel group opposed to the unnatural resurrections. With its stunning retrofuturistic cyberpunk design this is an extremely stylish sci-fi crime thriller reminiscent of Blade Runner and Minority Report exploring mankind’s fascination with mortality.

Made in Prague Festival presents this special screening as part of the Sci-FiMAX season followed by a Q&A with director Robert Hloz, actor Andrea Mohylová and producer Jan Kallista.

Part of the 27th Made in Prague Festival, 3 November to 10 December 2023, organised by the Czech Centre London.
