Child in Time

The three-year-old daughter of children's writer Stephen Lewis suddenly and inexplicably disappears from the supermarket.

This loss turns Stephen's entire life upside down, clearly demonstrating to him that his daughter was the only meaning of his life. Stephen's personal drama unfolds against the backdrop of the unceasing flow of time, which has initiated a strange struggle with the main character. Only gradually does Stephen realize that it is not man who possesses his time, but time that rules over people. 

The time of conception and the time of birth, the time of growth and the time of maturity — time as a mysterious, unpersonified, and omnipotent force that cannot be circumvented, but which can be attempted to be overcome only by overcoming oneself.
