Late at night, Billy Pilgrim finds himself marooned within his own memories. While watching old films, he views his world in reverse, as well as the universe defying logic he attaches to it. Illustrating a passage from Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-five, Someplace in Time looks through charcoal, watercolor, collage, and film to capture the mind of a man reliving his past.
