26 years older than his wife, Nasar has started a family late in life. Afraid that he won't be around to see his children grow up, he decides to be cryogenically frozen upon death in the hope of coming back to life. As his family grapples with what it means for their lives, and whether they should follow suit, Nasar is forced to reassess what truly matters in life. A life-affirming, thought-provoking exploration of how we deal with mortality.
