Plot

In a villa by the sea, a group of old friends gather to celebrate Elsa's 50th birthday. They soon discover that the world might be ending within the space of a few hours. From that moment on, the time separating them from the possible end of their lives seems to flow differently, both speedily and never-endingly.[2]

Cast

Production

Liliana Cavani wrote the film's screenplay with Paolo Costella, in collaboration with Italian physicist Carlo Rovelli, known for the loop quantum theory of gravity, and whose books are international bestsellers.[6] The film is freely inspired by Rovelli's 2017 essay of the same name,[5] published by Adelphi, which explores quantum physics and physical and existential time, with the complexity and the mysteries it contains.[6]

Principal photography began in September 2022 at a seaside villa in Sabaudia and was expected to continue until mid-October.[6] The Order of Time is first feature film in over 20 years by Cavani,[2] who was 89 years old at the time of the film's production.[6] Enrico Lucidi served as director of photography.[2]

The Order of Time was produced by Indiana Production, Vision Distribution and Gapbusters with Rai Cinema, in co-production with Shelter Prod, with the support of taxshelter.be and ING, with the support of the tax shelter of the Belgian federal government, in collaboration with Sky and Prime Video.[1]
