Child in Time

A children's writer Stephen Lewis suddenly and inexplicably loses his three-year-old daughter right out of 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 begun a strange struggle with the main character. Only gradually does Stephen realize that it is not the person who owns their 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, non-personified, and omnipotent force that cannot be manipulated, but which can only be attempted to be overcome by transcending oneself.
