Synopsis:

Penelope and Isidoros exist in a universe where one day they can be young lovers, and the next, older and divorced. Their relationship is stretched into new dimensions as their shared and individual recollections are in constant flux. However, somewhere next to their world is another where time is linear. It is possible to break free from the world of arbitrary time? Penelope and Isidoros learn that this “freedom” comes with a cost.
