Frédéric and Suzanne buy their first VHS camcorder in 1989. The camera becomes a witness to their daily life. A few years later, Tim, their child, is born. While their relationship slowly deteriorates, Suzanne embarks on a hopeless quest against oblivion and decides to film her relatives.

Winner of a top prize at the Festival International du Film Indépendant de Bordeaux, Before Tim is a beguiling short from Alexis Diop. A decades-spanning love story told via the medium of recovered VHS tapes, this beautiful miniature playfully examines the emotional weight of time and technology.
