Canadian cinematographer/director Peter Mettler (Gambling, Gods and LSD) travels the globe exploring the subject of time in this ambitious documentary that looks to the future while offering a fascinating glance at the world as it exists today. A visit to the particle accelerator in Switzerland offers a glimpse into the minds of scientists who are determined to answer our most difficult questions regarding how time functions, a trip to the Big Island of Hawaii reveals how lava flows are constantly changing our landscapes, and a stop in Detroit paints a haunting picture of how even a once-great city can slowly succumb to the ravages of time.
