reStart is the time travel short film by Spanish filmmaker Olga Osorio, starring Marta Larralde.

The short tells the story of a young woman who is kidnapped by mysterious assailants from a lighthouse along the Spanish coast, taken to an underground bunker, and forced to relive the day trapped in a time loop.

Desperate to break free, the woman uses every resource she can muster from her surroundings - and from within herself - to find a means to escape.

Is time immutable? If given the ability to change our past, what implications would that have for our present? Our future?

Osorio addresses these questions by creating a stylish, meditative, and haunting narrative she uses to explore one of the most prevailing subjects in science fiction.
