Eternal You plunges you into a near future where eternal life is no longer just a dream but a digital reality. Through the creation of avatars that replicate deceased loved ones, this documentary invites us to explore the boundaries of memory, loss, and connection. It follows the journey of people like Christi Angel, who seek comfort by talking to digital versions of the departed—even at the risk of becoming trapped in a virtual reality that blurs the line between the real and the artificial. A haunting story that raises deep questions about the emotional cost of digital immortality, the consequences of preserving our memories, and how far we are willing to go to avoid forgetting. A striking and thought-provoking look at the future of grief, technology, and our ties to those who are no longer with us.
