RESTORE POINT

CZ/SK/PL/RS, 2023, 107 Min

2041: In the “Restore Points” – a backup technology for human lives – people who have died violent deaths are being revived. During her investigation into a double murder, Detective Trochinowska comes across a system of conspiracies, corruption and abuse of power – and who is really behind the terrorist group "River of Life"? The retro-futuristic sci-fi thriller is already being referred to as the “Czech Blade Runner” in its country of production.

Death can be conquered and yet more feared than ever. The business of backing up one’s life is becoming a breeding ground for abuse of power, corruption, conspiracies and panic-mongering. Detective Em Trochinowska encounters inconsistencies in her investigation into a double murder case – who killed whom? Can deleting backup data be considered murder just in the same way as shooting someone with a pistol? And who is really behind the terrorists who are always being warned about and who are also responsible for the death of Em's husband?

The tide is turning, a dead person reappears, the good and evil fronts swirl together. A struggle for evidence, memories and technical possibilities begins. “You are protecting a system that scares you to death! ” is thrown at Detective Trochinowska – is there any truth in that after all? Dark, entertaining sci-fi thriller with high production value against a dystopian-futuristic setting.
