TIME IS MONEY
In the near future, people don’t age past 25 and from the 25th birthday, the clock starts ticking. TIME is the only currency: we earn and spend time. Will Salas, 28, is wrongly accused of killing a man and stealing a century from him. In order to survive, he kidnapped the daughter of a very rich man.

The plot comes from the simple « time is money »
idea and when money is converted into time, the result is somewhat scary. We
are trapped in a system where everyone (like the timekeeper) blindly follows
the rule, ignores what is right and minds his own business; a system where it
is impossible to get out. That is the most important element to be remembered. The
idea of converting money is smart but there are too much actions. As for the
attempts to « set things right » like the bank robberies, one wonders
whether there is a smarter solution because soon when we will be running out of
time, it will be the end. What about time travel?
Memorable quotes
Will: You’re from here, aren’t you?
Timekeeper Leon: Long time ago… and I walked out, I escaped
Will: And now you make sure none of us does
Timekeeper Leon: It’s the way it has to be. I don’t set the
clock, I can’t turn it back, I keep it running
