TIME AND AGAIN | Omeleto

From the creator

A genius builds a time machine. Lucen is a child genius with a talent for invention and engineering. During one fateful summer, he enlists his loyal best friend Brian to help him build a time machine. At first, the project seems like a lark, a way to spend the summer hours. But as Brian gets to know Lucen and discovers Lucen's painfully distant family life, with an emotionally remote father and absent mother, he realizes the time machine has a much bigger significance for Lucen. When Lucen's invention is complete, it takes the precocious youth to an unexpected and emotional place. This warmhearted, earnest drama -- written and directed by Aidan Largey and produced by Margaret McGoldrick and Leo McGuigan -- may have a time machine at the center of its plot, but any sci-fi trappings are secondary to the richer emotional journey of its characters. Told from the point-of-view of an older, wiser but still very affectionate Brian, this is a story about loyalty, friendship, family and acceptance, told with great generosity and sincerity. The film is shot much more like a family drama than a sci-fi genre film, with its warmly burnished lighting and photography and its eye for lovely natural detail. Handsomely shot, there's a comforting gentleness to the craftsmanship, and much of the film is suffused with a golden, mellow light that often feels like the deep affection of memory and nostalgia. Similarly, the character-centered writing focuses less on the razzle-dazzle of time tr
