Cycle of Time

Cycle of Time (C'était mieux demain, 2025) is a French sci-fi comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Michel and Hélène Dupuis are an unremarkable couple from 1958 — he clocks in at the bank, she keeps the house. Then one odd accident upends everything.

The mishap flings them into 2025, where their old roles flip completely. Hélène climbs to a bank executive's office while Michel drifts through unemployment and a creeping depression, and their kids come of age in a world ruled by screens the parents can barely operate. Director Vinciane Millereau mines the laughs from a courtly past crashing into a digital present, with Elsa Zylberstein and Didier Bourdon in the leads. It's a gentle comedy rather than a mean one, poking fun at both eras without crowning a winner. Stream Cycle of Time online on iFILM.
