The Present is a 2024 American family comedy directed by Christian Ditter, featuring Isla Fisher and Greg Kinnear as parents Jen and Eric Diehl. The narrative centers on their nonverbal, neurodiverse son, Taylor (Easton Rocket Sweda), who discovers that a newly inherited grandfather clock possesses the ability to turn back time by 12 hours. Upon learning of his parents’ impending separation, Taylor utilizes the clock’s power to repeatedly reset the day, endeavoring to alter events and keep his family together.

As Taylor’s solo attempts face challenges, he enlists the help of his older sister Emma (Shay Rudolph) and younger brother Max (Mason Shea Joyce). Together, the siblings devise creative strategies to influence their parents’ decisions, all while grappling with the realization that some aspects of life may be beyond their control. Throughout their time-altering journey, they uncover the significance of family bonds, acceptance, and the importance of embracing the present moment.
