The Map of Tiny Perfect Things

Teenager Mark finds himself trapped in an endless time loop. Each day, he wakes up to repeat the same events, slowly honing his skills to assist those around him.

Mark develops a crush on a girl and begins dedicating his efforts to preventing various mishaps throughout the day. His fixation on perfecting each moment intensifies as he seeks to impress her.

One day, Mark witnesses another girl named Margaret intervening in a situation he had aimed to fix. Intrigued by her unexpected actions, Mark seeks her out and discovers she is also trapped in the same time loop.

As Mark and Margaret spend more time together, they share their personal histories and dreams. Mark becomes determined to understand the mystery behind the time loop and Margaret’s unusual behavior.

Margaret consistently receives a text from a medical facility every evening. This cryptic message hints at a deeper secret she's hiding, raising Mark's curiosity about her situation.

Together, Mark and Margaret embark on a quest to find 'moments of perfect beauty' throughout their day. They believe that discovering these moments could ultimately help them break free from the loop.

Mark presents a map of the significant moments he has identified. However, when he makes a romantic advance towards Margaret, she gently clarifies that she only sees him as a friend, leaving him heartbroken.

After a heated argument with his father about pursuing his art aspirations, Mark learns that his father has been struggling with his own unfulfilled dreams. This revelation inspires Mark to focus more on his family and friends.

Mark sustains a skateboard injury that sends him to the hospital, where he unexpectedly encounters Margaret. She is visiting her ailing mother, prompting both to reflect on their intertwined fates.

As Margaret deals with her own family's issues, including her missing dog and supportive friend Henry, she has a breakthrough in understanding the nature of their time loop and her place within it.

Margaret creates a three-dimensional model representing the perfect moments she and Mark identified. Through this exercise, she realizes there’s one crucial event missing, and predicts it will occur at 7:00 PM by the pool.

In a touching moment, Margaret reveals to Mark that she controls the time loop, as this day marks her mother's last. She expresses her deep desire to hold onto this moment, making Mark realize the weight of her secret.

As their connection deepens, Mark and Margaret share a passionate kiss, symbolizing their understanding of one another. This moment also marks the acceptance of their circumstances and the inevitability of change.

As midnight strikes and rain begins to fall, Margaret visits her mother for one last time. She and Mark prepare to face the coming dawn, which will not only end the time loop but lead them to a long-lost dog.

With the rain falling, the time loop finally shatters, allowing Mark and Margaret to step into a new chapter of their lives. The experience teaches them valuable lessons about love, loss, and letting go.
