Director: Robert Hloz
By 2041, dying is no longer permanent for everyone — it depends on how recently your brain was backed up.
What is Restore Point about?
In a near-future Europe split between those who can afford regular brain backups and those who cannot, a detective investigates the killing of a young couple. One of the victims is brought back through a restoration procedure, but the copy of her memory has gaps around the moments before the attack. As the detective pieces together corporate secrets, black-market restoration clinics and a movement opposed to the technology altogether, the case turns into a wider question about who gets to control life, death and the record of a person's final hours.
Cast & crew
Andrea Mohylová leads as the detective driving the investigation, working alongside Matěj Hádek and Václav Neužil as figures on opposing sides of the restoration debate. Milan Ondrík, Karel Dobrý and Jan Vlasák round out a supporting cast that keeps the film's science-fiction premise grounded in ordinary bureaucratic and criminal detail rather than spectacle.
Context & significance
Director Robert Hloz sets the story in a version of 2041 built around widening inequality, where a costly biotechnology divides people by whether they can afford protection from permanent death. Rather than treating the restoration technology as a gimmick, the film uses it as the engine of its crime plot: memories become evidence, backups become political leverage, and a resistance movement treats the whole system as an unnatural interference with mortality. A Czech-Polish production released in 2023, it draws comparisons to earlier European science-fiction thrillers that use genre mechanics to examine class division rather than pure action.
Where & how to watch
Restore Point streams on K-Time with a free account login, offered with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles so the Czech-language dialogue and its technical plot are easy to follow in Farsi. K-Time's catalog and interface are built for Persian-speaking viewers, so a genre title like this sits alongside more mainstream releases without any extra searching.
