Rip in Time

An organic farmer leading a quiet, grounded life finds her routine upended when a stranger appears on her land claiming to be Rip Van Winkle Jr., a man who insists he has come from 1787. His old-fashioned manners, strange stories, and anachronistic charm pull her into a world where folklore and possibility collide, and the boundaries between reality and delusion blur. The film wraps its rural setting in a gentle mystique, letting the landscape and small details amplify the sense that something larger than everyday life is at work.

As their connection deepens, she confronts a choice between skepticism and surrendering to a love that feels both timeless and inexplicable. The story balances tender romance with quiet questions about identity, memory, and what we’re willing to believe for the chance at connection. Lightly whimsical yet emotionally grounded, it explores how yearning for the past and longing for companionship can reshape a person’s future.
