"Tomorrow Ever After" Ironic Apocalyptic Perspective of The Present From a Future Time Traveler

The intriguing time travel apocalyptic picture views the 21st C as the "despair epoch" by a time traveler from the 25th C who inadvertently travels back in time to NYC today who is ill equipped to navigate the dissociated, dismal era of despair where no one seems to care for one another.  This thought provoking twist on the mundane doomsday future of most sci-fi "road warrior" movies is a clever cat's-eye lens on the malaise that infects today's society into a cold & forlorn world.  The director,  screenwriter/producer & star of this illuminating picture is Ela Their (b Israel 1971 "A Summer Rain").  Shaina (Ela Their) is the doe eyed innocent space traveler from the future who finds herself stranded & befuddled in present day NYC.  Somehow, she get's separated from her peers in the 25th C and must maneuver her way back to her utopian future with the aid of her waning hi-tech implement and the dependence on the kindness of strangers.   Her implement is a highly advanced piece of technology able to understand & utilize mechanisms.  It appears as a plain white wallet sized card but functions mysteriously and masterfully in Shaina's hands.  Still, she needs the aid of elite physics to help recharge her implement in order to return home.  Her home in the future is a much kinder & gentler society; no one is left to fend for themselves, money is absolute and hugging is the accepted norm.  This utopian world she's traveled from renders her a product of a population - post cataclysmic occurrence that rendered the planet into a equanimous & egalitarian society.  The resonates with the sitcom "Third Rock from the Sun" where aliens inhabit earth to study the human species finding our behaviors antiquated, perplexing & humorous.  "Tomorrow Ever After" is more of a dark comedy where Shaina is perplexed in her innocent assumption of decency & camaraderie amongst fellow human beings.  Her first encounter is an armed mugger who demands she go to a cash machine.   She uses her implement to withdraw money (a quaint medium) and is happy to oblige.  She lacks an understanding how to use money for food & shelter.  She persues the mugger and he becomes her helper & hugger.   She discerns her predicament has landed her into a a the forlorn "despair era".  We recognize Shaina's eye opening & disparaging view of our human frailties, cruelties & callousness which we've readily accepted.  Some may find Shaina's shenanigans wearisome.  I was carried along with the interesting characters (especially Ebbe Bassey as the mugger's girlfriend) & their stories as well as Shaina's resourcefulness and unflappability.  The charm & fascination of this gem of a film "Tomorrow Ever After" lingers leaving an imprint of hope for the future of humanity.
