When Einz—meaning “love” in Chinese and Japanese—succumbed to brain cancer at just two and a half years old in 2015, her parents were devastated, but not without hope. Shortly before Einz passed away, her father, an engineer named Sahatorn, had convinced her mother, Nareerat, to pursue cryonics, the process of freezing the deceased and then later reviving them when a cure for their disease has been discovered. Within minutes of Einz’s death, a team from Alcor Life Extension Foundation prepared her body to be transported from Bangkok to Scottsdale, Arizona. Now Einz’s family, including brother and aspiring scientist, Matrix, eagerly await the necessary advances in medicine, while acknowledging they might not live long enough to see Einz again. Dealing in topics largely relegated to the realm of science fiction, documentarian Pailin Wedel pairs moving interviews and bittersweet family videos with beautiful cinematography and an emotive score in HOPE FROZEN.
