If you had the chance to talk to a loved one who died, would you take it? Eternal You examines the story of people who live on as digital replicants in the pockets of their loved ones. With the help of artificial intelligence and Big Data, a dream comes true that is as old as mankind itself: eternal life. Tech startups use a wealth of data to develop digital doppelgangers which promise to immortalize people on earth.

Hans Block and Moritz Riesewieck are German writers and directors. Their debut film The Cleaners about the shadow industry of digital censorship celebrated its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018. It was nominated for an Emmy and the German Television Award and has received numerous international prizes.
