Imagine life without the fear of growing old. The Physical Immortality Group gained popularity in Tel Aviv in the late 1980s as the Israeli branch of The Eternal Flame, an American group believing in eternal life. Outsiders scoffed, but members were steadfast, determined to live together forever. The group’s international success faltered when its polyamorous throuple leaders broke up. The film, directed by former member Ranni Midyan, revisits this heartwarming story. Years after leaving, Midyan explores the group’s revival and its continued activity today.
