Synopsis

A lighthearted and playful twist on the time-loop concept.

On a winter’s day in an idyllic mountain village, the staff and guests at a traditional inn become stuck in a two-minute time loop. When they discover that their memories of each loop remain, and that the loop is confined to their small geographic area, the quirky ragtag bunch try to work together in two-minute intervals to find a solution.

River is an endearing sci-fi comedy that maintains its light-footed charm across the arguments, chase sequences, and romantic confessions provoked by the time loop. With its quick pacing, infectious optimism, and surprising finale, the film will resonate with anyone who has wished for time to stop.
