What happens

Origami is a Canadian science fiction thriller film, directed by Patrick Demers and released in 2017. The film stars François Arnaud as David, a man struggling to make sense of whether his apparent ability to travel back and forth in time is the result of a psychotic break or a timeline that is genuinely folding in on itself. The film's cast also includes Nobuya Shimamoto, Max Laferriere, Stefanie Nakamura, Benoît Gouin, Alexa-Jeanne Dubé, Normand D'Amour, Patrick Forest, Tania Kontoyanni and Milton Tanaka. The film premiered on July 18, 2017 at the Fantasia Film Festival, before going into commercial release in 2018. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
