time, et. al.: a cautionary tale about love and time travel is about your run-of-the-mill, twenty-first century guy who happens to own a steamer trunk with a wormhole in it.  Through this wormhole, William receives letters from an enigmatic young girl, with whom he quickly falls in love.  There’s only one problem- she’s writing to him from the 1920s.  Over the course of that dreaded thing called time we find William and his technogeek brother Theodore desperately trying to figure out how William and this girl can be together, thereby achieving his improbable ambitions of the two lovers living happily ever after.

For a while.  For there are downsides of traveling through time to be with the object of your anachronistic love.  The 1920’s visitor soon loses touch with reality, and William and Theodore can only stand by and watch.  time, et. al. teaches us that metaphysical time travel wormhole love perhaps isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
