Late for Dinner (1991)

In the tumultuous era of the early 1960s, the destinies of two inseparable friends and brothers-in-law, Willie and Frank, intersect with an experiment that promises to bend the laws of time. Willie, a man on the run from the relentless pursuit of the law for a shooting act of self-defense, and Frank, a man grappling with the relentless clutch of failing kidneys, find themselves under the spell of an unforeseen proposition. They agree to participate in a groundbreaking experiment - to be cryogenically frozen for an indefinite period, temporarily pausing their lives and troubles. As their world fades into an icy slumber, they are unaware of the misfortune that awaits them. A series of unfortunate events sees their experiment go awry, leaving them suspended in time, forgotten and frozen. Their existence becomes a relic of the past until fate intervenes, causing them to awaken accidentally in the year 1991. Thrust into a world that's morphed beyond recognition over the past three decades, they must grapple with their startling reality. Thrust into a future that seems more alien than familiar, Willie and Frank must navigate this brave new world. Their quest is not just to understand their predicament, but also to rediscover the ties that once held them, to reconnect with the people they cherished. With the echoes of their past lives still resounding, they embark on a journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and a yearning for love lost in time.
