Modelo Prison. Barcelona, 1977. A young accountant, awaiting trial for embezzlement with a possible 20 years sentence, joins a group of prisoners demanding amnesty.

The disappearance of his wife leaves Fernando, a quiet geography teacher, completely devastated. Aimless, he assumes another man’s identity as a gardener on a Portuguese estate, where he forms an unexpected friendship with the owner, stepping into a new life that isn’t his own.

Tempus Fugit explores the effects of being able to travel back and forth in time in boring and insignificant installments – half-day to 6-7 days, at a stretch. But the point is, much like Butterfly Effect (the film – the wikipedia definition!), small, utterly insignificant, initial variations can/ may lead to large changes in the long term. This fascinating theory is clubbed along with an average-nobody’s seemingly inconsequential every day act becoming significant enough to save the world – to an incredible effect.

Like the four seasons, the love history of four friends is recounted at 4 different times. One doesn't love her husband anymore, another is a single mother, the next one has an unfaithful husband and finally there is room for the shy spinster too.

Vicenç is about to be a father. When his friends invite him to eat at the house of Isabel and Pere, his sister and her brother-in-law, he meets Claudi, a good childhood friend. While they wait for Anna, Vicenç's partner, they ask him a whole series of questions about his paternity and all that this entails, without ever losing their sense of humor... But when they suddenly ask him if he has already chosen a name for the child, his response will explode hidden tensions between all of them.

When his mother dies, Fran is taken to an orphanage. He soon runs away to Galicia, the land where his parents were born. While taking a coastal walk, he is trapped by the tide, and is unable to get back home.

Llorenç and Ernest are two great lifelong friends. The two decided long ago that they wanted to be actors, but have had uneven careers. While Llorenç has been popular with all of them for a long time and has seen his fame grow (as did his ego) until he became a true diva of the Catalan theater, Ernest has not finished achieving it.
