Two centuries from now, growing old is no longer something anyone has to face — and that is exactly what a small band of holdouts in I Am Mortal refuses to accept.
What is I Am Mortal about?
The 2022 science-fiction feature imagines a future built on a single premise: genetic engineering has erased aging and death, and society has organized itself entirely around that new normal. Against this backdrop, a small group of resisters pushes back against the order that immortality has produced, questioning what a life without an ending actually costs a person and a society. Director Tony Aloupis keeps the focus on that central tension between permanence and the freedom to simply live and die like everyone once did, using the rebels' campaign as the engine for a story about consent, control, and what a body is even for once mortality is optional. It is a compact 83-minute film that treats its high concept as a springboard for character conflict rather than spectacle for its own sake.
About the cast
The ensemble is led by Sean Gunn alongside Lauren Lindsey Donzis, Nina Kiri, Abraham Lewis, Eloise Smyth, Jan Uddin, and Nash Grier, giving the small-scale rebellion at the story's center a recognizable, grounded cast of faces to carry its ideas.
