Realive

Realive (Proyecto Lázaro, 2016) is a Spanish science fiction drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Mateo Gil and starring Tom Hughes, the film approaches cryonics not as a thriller premise but as a quiet, unsettling meditation on what it actually means to survive.

Marc is diagnosed with terminal cancer in his prime and opts for cryogenic preservation rather than a slow death. Seventy years later, he becomes the first person in history to be successfully revived. His body is partially restored. The world he knew is gone. The woman he loved is long dead. And the medical team that brought him back has its own agenda. The film moves between timelines — the life he left behind and the strange half-existence he wakes into.

What separates Realive from most near-future sci-fi is its restraint: no dystopian spectacle, just the question of who owns a body that science put back together. Tom Hughes and Charlotte Le Bon carry the emotional weight without melodrama. Stream Realive online on iFILM.
