Set two years after his daughter went missing, 'The Child in Time' follows Stephen Lewis (Benedict Cumberbatch), a children's author, as he struggles to find purpose in his life without her. His wife Julie (Kelly Macdonald) has left him, and his best friends Charles (Stephen Campbell Moore) and Thelma (Saskia Reeves) have retired to the countryside, battling demons of their own. With tenderness and insight, the film explores a marriage devastated, the loss of childhood, the fluidity of time, grief, hope, and acceptance. The Child in Time is a lyrical and heart-breaking exploration of love, loss, and the power of things unseen.
