An ordinary man is renovating his country house with his wife when he sees something that catches his attention while playing with his binoculars. Looking at a wooded area, he spies a beautiful woman taking her clothes off, and decides to take a stroll and give her a closer look. However, when he arrives the woman is lying in the grass and appears to either be dead or passed out. As he examines her, he's attacked by a strange man and flees on foot. He seeks refuge in a building that turns out to be a research facility owned by a scientist, who gives him a place to hide inside what looks like a milk vat. It is actually a time machine and when he emerges a few minutes later and looks out of the window he sees himself working in the garden as he was before. Thus starts a series of loops as he attempts to keep time in a straight line without leaving himself stranded in the past and unable to rejoin his wife.
The film has many twists and turns but does remain coherent and logical. It wisely omits any special effects that would otherwise detract from the very ordinary look of the film.
