Storyline

A writer, Tucker Harding, is hired to cover an article on the hydrogen-bomb test, Nevada, 1952. While there, radiation mutates her code/soul, spawning in her the ability to travel through time by force of will. Not long after she is murdered by a woman from the future, Ofelia, intent on securing her own ability to time travel. However, before her death Tucker travels to the year 1997 where she meets Drew, a failed writer who has been infected with Tuckers original mutation since birth.

Trivia

Hilary Brougher did not conceptualize the movie as "Lesbian Interest" and did not market it that way. It became 'typed' as such after gay fans approached her at festival circuits.

Quotes

Tucker: Time has five fingers, one is the past, two is the present, and three is the future.
Ofelia: And four is what could have been and five for what yet could be.

User Reviews

a great noir!

I'd highly recommend this for noir fans--a great twist on the genre, with its additions of time-travel and backwards-to-forwards plotline and lesbianism. The first scene, naturally, makes you say, "How'd that happen?" and the rest of the story is how you saw what you saw in the first minute. Shows "12 Monkeys" what it could have been if it had had any guts at all.
