Summary:

The film is a recreation for the camera of the work by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, the Flemish choreographer of Moroccan descent, and Les Ballets C. de la B. The film is set in a magnificent Moroccan palm grove. A woman is at the centre of gravity, at its epicentre. The film's heroine -- pursued by an invisible presence -- meets a prince. The prince falls madly in love with her, but she leaves him for another. Soon however, her past catches up with her. The inspiration for Tempus Fugit lies without a doubt in the popular cinema of India with its great melodramas that blend dance, song, music and enchantment. Their complexity stems often -- just as in Tempus Fugit -- from the confrontation between tradition and modernity.
