Long Story Short (2021 film)

Long Story Short is a 2021 Australian romantic comedy film written and directed by Josh Lawson about a man who wakes up the morning after his wedding to discover that every few minutes he is jumping forward in time.

The morning after the wedding, Teddy wakes up to discover that exactly one year has passed and Leanne is 18 weeks pregnant.

A few minutes later, time shifts to their second anniversary and he is the father of a baby girl who, much to his shock, is named Talullah.

Teddy realizes that time is passing normally for everyone but him, and asks his best friend Sam to meet him in one year with an anniversary present, which he does.

In the intervening year, Teddy and Leanne have begun couples' counseling and their therapist has asked them to write letters to each other.

She explains that she was given a similar gift shortly before her own wedding; her experience made her realize that she didn't love her fiancé, and was in fact a lesbian.

Now with a new outlook on life, Teddy calls his boss to inform her he will be cutting down his hours at work and studying photography, encourages Sam to get screened for skin cancer, and resolves to give the tin can to Becca so she can save her own marriage.

"[7] The Italian film Era ora [it] (Still Time, 2023), directed by Alessandro Aronadio and starring Edoardo Leo, is based on Long Story Short.
