That Times is Now

Synopsis

"Why does this keep happening to us?" Doctor Wokozi asks the same question each time she meets Professor Seva. She has done it seven times already and this is her last chance. Despite the experimental success of Time-travel in 2060, developed with the help of Quantex Ai, humans cannot withstand more than eight jumps and Spacetime entanglement is unstable. Each trip that she takes is fraught with danger and uncertainty. Equipped with a special pair of goggles, Doctor Wokozi has located Professor Seva's space-time coordinates in 2030. He lives alone with his plants, in an abandoned building - a decommissioned London hydroponic station. Each of her previous visits has been unsuccessful in convincing the reclusive genius to give up life in his current timeline and join her to save the world. She is now becoming desperate to finally transfer his consciousness into a storage device, so that she may bring him back to 2060, where his expertise on plants behaviour could help restore the biosphere and rescue humanity from extinction. THAT TIME IS NOW invites us to reflect on what makes us human, when facing the perils of an ecological collapse, through the themes of consciousness, steadfastness, and selflessness.
