Time Cut

In a quiet Midwestern town where the shadows of a decades‑old tragedy still linger, the everyday rhythm of 2024 is tinged with a quiet melancholy. The community’s landscape is dotted with memorials and whispered stories, creating an atmosphere that feels both familiar and haunted. Beneath the ordinary storefronts and sprawling cornfields, an old hay barn hides a secret—an experimental device that bends the very fabric of time, waiting to be stumbled upon.

When Lucy Field, a high‑school‑aged teen who has spent her life feeling like a phantom in her own hometown, discovers the contraption, she is thrust into a bewildering possibility: a chance to step back into 2003, just days before her beloved older sister Summer Field is set to face a pivotal moment. Lucy’s relationship with Summer has always been a blend of admiration and yearning, and the prospect of meeting her sister before the looming darkness offers a tantalizing mix of hope and dread. The tone balances teenage curiosity with an undercurrent of urgency, hinting at the fragile line between saving someone you love and reshaping the world you both inhabit.

Guided—if reluctantly—by her childhood friend Quinn, a physics‑savvy yet cautious presence, Lucy must navigate the unfamiliar social landscape of early‑2000s high school life while grappling with the ethical weight of interference. Their dynamic crackles with quiet affection, unspoken history, and the tension of an impossible mission. As Lucy teeters between the desire to protect her sister and the unknown consequences of altering time, the film asks a simple yet profound question: can the love of a sibling be enough to rewrite fate without unraveling the future she knows?
