About
Confronted with her husband’s declining health, Carrie Radomski dedicates herself to building Canada’s first cryonics facility, convinced that preserving the human body after death may one day allow families like hers to reunite. Alongside a close-knit group of scientists, entrepreneurs, and true believers, Carrie commits herself to a vision of the future that challenges conventional ideas about mortality, grief, and what it means to hope.
Relax, Open Your Eyes offers a rare glimpse into the world of cryonics, approaching its subjects with curiosity rather than judgment. Instead of focusing on whether cryonics will ultimately succeed, David Ehrenreich’s documentary explores the people who devote themselves to such an extraordinary pursuit, revealing a community driven as much by love and optimism as by science. Through observational filmmaking and remarkable firsthand access, the film captures the emotional complexity of believing in a future that others dismiss, while inviting audiences to reflect on humanity’s enduring desire to overcome death.
