This film has foreign language with English subtitles.

Pati, a young producer, is fighting to carve out a professional career in the film industry. It is May 2019 when her laptop is stolen during a business trip in Madrid. After diligently filing a police report, Pati’s life goes on as usual until August 1st, when she receives a voice message from a friend. He notifies her that he has received a strange email with very personal pictures that seem to be Pati. It is then that Pati realises she is the victim of what is called sextortion.

An anonymous Hacker accesses all the stored data in the stolen laptop and finds three very private photos of Pati. He threatens that, if he doesn’t receive $2,400, he will mass-mail the pictures to all her work contacts in order to ruin her professional reputation.

Shame, anger and distress caused by months of brutal extortion are transformed into the need to share the process. Faced with the ineffectiveness of the legal forces, Pati feels frightened and vulnerable. When it seems there is no hope in the case, Pati receives a letter from the Madrid Court stating that the two guys who stole her computer have been caught.

With this first clue, Pati sets out on her own investigation to stop the Hacker and regain control and power over her privacy.

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 one day coming back to life. As his family grapples with what this means for their lives, Nasar is forced to reassess what truly matters. 

Eternal Father is an intimate and existential story about how we deal with mortality; what we leave behind when we die and what it means to be alive.
