About Time follows Tim Lake, a man who's given the most unexpected gift for his 21st birthday. His father James (Bill Nighy) informs that the men in their family have the ability to travel back in time to revisit moments they've lived before.
The following summer, Tim meets and instantly falls in love with a woman named Charlotte (Margot Robbie) who is visiting his sister Katherine (Lydia Wilson).
Unfortunately, he waits until the end of her trip to reveal his feelings. Charlotte responds by telling him he should've told her sooner.
Heartbroken, he then moves to London where he meets Mary (Rachel McAdams) and the two hit it off, but after travelling back in time to help his friend Harry (Tom Hollander) his meet-cute with Mary is undone.
