About time

I'm going to explain a comedy, drama and fantasy falca lled About Time. Spoilers Ahead. Watch out and take care. The Lake family resides in harmony at their house by the sea. There's the ever busy mother Mary, the always active father James, the charming yet absentminded Uncle Desmond, the awkward son Tim, and the free spirited daughter Catherine or Kit Kat. Every year, they host a New Year's Eve party with family and friends. At this year's party, Tim navigates through the crowd, feeling awkward and dragged around by his friend Jay. During the countdown to the new Year, a girl he's been dancing with, Polly leans for a kiss, but he shakes her hand instead, leaving her disappointed. The following day, Tim wakes up overwhelmed with embarrassment and a terrible hangover. He's called into his father's study, James, His father. Then tells Tim that he's about to share with him a secret that he's never told anyone before. According to James, the men born into their family, including Tim, and travel back in time, but it's limited to their own lifetime. They cannot go to a past they didn't experience or a place they've never been to. To do this, they must go to a dark place like a large cupboard and think of the place and time where they want to be, and they'll find themselves there. Unsurprisingly, Tim thinks this is a joke. He shakes his head at his father, thinking that he's pulling his leg. To prove that it isn't true, Tim goes inside the closet and thinks of the New Year's Eve party last night. After a few seconds, he comes out of the closet and is surprised to see himself dressed in his clothes from yesterday, music and conversations that go from downstairs. He heads down and is immediately pulled by Jay, evading a table that he previously knocked over. At the countdown, he kisses Polly, who reacts giddily. Afterward, Tim goes back into the closet and travels to the present, realizing that the time travel is real. He listens to his father's experience about the ability, discovering that it's how James seemingly had a lot of time for them. James advises Tim not to use the ability for money or power, so Tim decides that he'll use it to find love. That summer, Kit Kat invites her boyfriend's cousin Charlotte to stay at the beach house for two months. As the family sunbathes with their guest one afternoon, Tim hopes to get on Charlotte's good side. Seeing an opportunity, Tim agrees to put sunscreen on Charlotte's back, but ends up spilling the bottle on her. Feeling humiliated, he travels back in time and acts more casually and carefully about it throughout the summer. Tim attempts to impress Charlotte, but fails each time until it is too late, and then finally it's Charlotte's last day in the house. On the evening before she leaves, Tim hopes to confess his feelings for her, but is instantly shot down before he could, Discovering that Kit Kat already warned Charlotte that he might do this, Charlotte wonders if things would have turned out differently if he talked to her before her last night at their home. The thought gives him an idea. Tim travels back in time to confess to Charlotte in the middle of summer, but this time Charlotte tells him to ask her again on her last night at their home. This confirms that he never had a chance with Charlotte no matter what. Tim finally gives up on pursuing her. The day after Charlotte left, Tim leaves their home and moves to London where he stays with James friend Harry. Tim is excited for the new chapter of his life ahead, but is disappointed to learn that Harry is a short fused playwright. In the first six months, Tim hasn't had any luck in romance, finding that his career as a lawyer acquaints him mostly with other men. His luck turns when one night Jay takes him to Don's Lenoir, the restaurant where the guests dine in total darkness. Here they are, seated next to a woman named Mary and her friend Joanna. In the darkness, Tim and Mary get to know each other and have a great time. After dinner, Tim and Jay finally meet the girls face to face. Tim is stunned upon seeing Mary. And it's pretty evident that sparks have flown. As the couple lay eyes on each other. She gives him her phone number before parting ways. Tim walks back home with a skip in his step, only to be welcomed by Harry's angered growl. The opening of his play was ruined by the lead actor for getting his lines. Wanting to make things better, Tim goes back in time and joins Harry in the theater. Just before opening night, he approaches the lead actor, Tom, and convinces him to practice his lines. This works, but then another actor forgets his lines instead. Tim goes back in time again and helps him out. The play turns out to be a success, however, when Tim checks his phone, he realizes that Mary's number is no longer there. His travels in time had erased his lovely evening with Mary. Feeling distraught, Tim joins an ecstatic Harry for breakfast. The next day, Harry shares the newspaper where Tim finds an ad for a Kate Moss exhibition in the city. Remembering that Mary is a fan of Kate Moss, he spends the week at the exhibit hoping to run into her. After a whole week, Mary finally walks in and Tim nervously approaches her. However, their interaction doesn't go smoothly and he learns that Mary now has a boyfriend named Rupert. Tim learns that Mary met Rupert at Joanna's party. He learns the details of the party and goes back in time to stop it from happening. Tim arrives at Joanna's apartment and convinces Mary to leave the party with him before Rupert arrives. Mary is a little hesitant, but she feels a magnetic force pulling her towards him as they leave. They brush past Rupert, who unknowingly walked past his supposed future girlfriend. Meanwhile, the two have a lovely dinner where they get to know each other even more. Tim ends up walking Mary home, and she invites him up to her apartment. The atmosphere turns hot and they take the date to the bedroom. But after awkwardly tripping over Mary's shoes and having difficulty on clipping her bra, Tim experiences an awkward first sexual encounter with Mary. He decides to go back in time, and this time? He skips over Mary's shoes and quickly undresses her. This time everything goes well, but Tim knows he can do better. After Tim's multiple attempts, the couple spends the perfect first night of passion. Over the following months, their relationship continues to bloom and the couple eventually moves in together. While at the theater with a coworker named Rory, Tim encounters Charlotte, but the conversation quickly turns awkward. He tries a second time, but it doesn't go well again for the third attempt. He decides not to approach her, and instead Charlotte spots him and initiates the conversation. Charlotte invites him to dinner, where she mentions her regrets about turning him down in the past. Charlotte asks him to walk her to her apartment and tempts him to go inside with her, but Tim refuses. Being able to turn down his first love helps Tim realize how deeply he loved Mary. He runs back home and wakes her up to propose to her. It ends up not as romantic as he expected, so he does it again. The second time, she says yes. That summer, Tim takes Mary home to meet his parents. Mary and her mother get along, and Tim spends quality time with his father. To his surprise, Kit Kat is also home after having a horrible time in London. The Lake family bursts in joy upon the announcement.
