Set during the first six months of the year 2000, Jonah and Lila, Until Tomorrow is not an anticipatory film for the millennium but rather a work that casts a retrospective glance back to Swiss filmmaker Alain Tanner’s now-classic 1975 film, Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000. It is now 2000, and Jonah has just turned twenty-five. He has also finished film school and married Lila, a young African woman. Composed of sixty scenes, from which the main characters slowly emerge through fortuitous encounters and incidents, Tanner’s innovative sequel does not tell a story with a beginning, a middle, or an end but instead captures a set of lives lived day by day. Spinning a yarn that is not exactly a story, this elliptical film is a "tale of times to come."
