In the 2038 Europe, death is no longer the end of your life. Detective Emma Trochinowska has to solve a murder-mystery where the only witness is one of the resurrected victims.
After stabilizing the first refugee crisis, followed by a number of terrorist attacks, all the citizens of the Free European Federation received a new constitutional law that guarantees “ONE WHOLE LIFE TO LIVE“.
Thanks to technology, everyone gets the right of recovery in case of unnatural death. All you need to do is to regularly create a “RESTORE POINT,” a backup where your memory is saved.
In this society “ABSOLUTE MURDER” is nearly impossible.
Polish actor Tomasz Kot, best known for his starring role in Pawel Pawlikowski’s Cold War, will star in Czech director Robert Hloz’s Restore Point.
The sci-fi detective project won the Screen International Best Pitch Award at Tallinn’s Baltic Event co-production market in 2017.
According to Hloz, Alfonso Cuarón’s dystopian sci-fi thriller Children Of Men was an inspiration for both screenwriter Tomislav Cecka and himself.
Hloz says Restore Point is embarking production, which is set for 2020. Final locations were secured in Slovakia late November. The project was part of Fantasia’s Frontières 2017.
The project is being structured as a co-production between Jan Kallista’s Czech production outfit Film Kolektiv, Rasto Sestak of Slovakia’s D.N.A. Production and Stanislaw Dziedzic of Poland’s Filmprodukcja.
