Eternal Return (2026)

Directed and written by Yaniv Raz, Eternal Return is a 2025 fantasy-romance film starring Naomi Scott, Kit Harington, Sonoya Mizuno, Simon Callow, and Jay Lycurgo. The movie had its global premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025 and features a runtime of 110 minutes, with an extended 115-minute version also available. Produced by Macro and BKStudios, the film explores themes of memory, grief, and emotional reconstruction through a unique sci-fi premise.

The story follows Cass, who falls into deep depression after the accidental death of her boyfriend, Jim. Her life changes when she meets Virgil, a mapmaker, and his terminally ill friend Malcolm. Virgil claims to create maps that allow users to revisit significant moments in time, helping Malcolm confront his final regrets. Inspired, Cass seeks to use these maps to rewrite her own past and save Jim. However, as she travels with Virgil and develops feelings for him, the truth behind the maps is revealed: they are not literal time-travel devices but sophisticated tools for therapeutic reminiscence and closure.
