The story is interesting and influential, and I give this short film credit for being groundbreaking in the area of time travel (and/or time loops, time paradoxes, etc). It captures the science fiction aspects and its dystopian elements well, but it also has very humanistic touches in the elusiveness of those little moments in time with someone you love, and how all of us in the end cannot escape time. Unfortunately, the storytelling left me flat both times I watched it. The repetition of still images, the monotone delivery, and slow pace made it tough to fully enjoy. It's a good cure for insomnia though.
