Warning: This post contains major spoilers for We Live in TimeWe Live in Time has a gut-wrenching ending. The drama, directed by John Crowley from a screenplay by Nick Payne, stars Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield as Almut and Tobias, a couple whose time together is shown through non-chronological storytelling. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, We Live in Time’s reviews were mostly positive.
Did Almut Die In We Live In Time? It’s heavily implied that Almut dies in We Live in Time. If she was still alive, Almut would likely have been in the film’s final scene teaching Ella how to crack an egg instead of Tobias. Though her death isn’t shown onscreen, Almut’s absence is greatly felt. The gentleness with which the film’s final moment is handled also points to Almut’s death, as Tobias passes along something Almut and Ella would’ve shared.
It’s nice to imagine Almut won the cooking competition. She had worked so hard to be there — choosing the competition over her wedding — and it’d taken up a good amount of her time. Almut was excited about the cooking competition, and given the fact that she’d even made it that far suggests she had a good chance of winning.
Tobias & Ella’s Dog Explained The Dog Is Mentioned Long Before He Appears Onscreen Shortly after Almut’s cancer diagnosis, she and Tobias discussed the potential of getting a dog to help Ella get through her mother’s illness and death. In We Live in Time’s final scene, a dog joins Tobias and Ella in the garden and the house, indicating the couple had finally gotten a dog for their daughter at some point between the cooking competition and Almut’s passing.
Almut’s illness could have overshadowed all the other good life moments had it come nearer to the end. But the film doesn’t forget the rest of the pieces that make up Almut and Tobias’ lives. The nonlinear timeline is crucial to also understanding who Almut and Tobias are — individually and as a couple. We Live in Time’s cast bears witness to the couple’s past, present, and future all at once, revealing their love, their conflicts, their sadness, and hope.
