When Does "Eternity" (2025) Take Place?

"Eternity" is a fantasy romantic-comedy film written by Pat Cunnane with David Freyne that released November 26th, 2025. So when is "Eternity" set? 


It takes place in the year: 

2019 AD or 2020 AD 

We know this because Luke specifically says in multiple scenes that he died in the famous and tragic Korean Civil War, which lasted from June 25th, 1950 AD to July 27th, 1953 AD in the real world and multiple characters say many times that he has been waiting in the Junction for "67 years". So it must be during or after June of 2017 AD and it must be during or before July of 2020 AD. 

6.1,950 + 67 = 6.2,017 

to 

7.1,953 + 67 = 7.2,020. 

More specifically, the movie's first scene depicts the elderly Larry Cutler and Joan Cutler driving to attend a "gender reveal party". A complete lack of mentions of the famous and tragic 2020 worldwide COVID-19 pandemic means a February of 2020 AD cutoff as gatherings of any kind (but most especially those involving the elderly) were strongly discouraged and even temporarily outlawed in some areas. So it must be during or before February of 2020 AD. 

Specifically, during this opening Larry jokes about the party and specifically says, "You know people die at these things? I saw it on the internet." and the first real-world "gender reveal party"-related fatality was Pamela Kreimeyer, accidentally killed on October 26th, 2019 AD. Though a serious fire was started at one such party on April 23rd, 2017 AD, that incident resulted in no deaths so Larry’s joke would make no sense unless it refers to the Kreimeyer tragedy. So it must be during or after October of 2019 AD.
