Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

18 Presents (2020)

Though inspired by the true story of a dying woman who pre-bought her daughter birthday gifts for her first 18 celebrations, this is pure fantasy. I mean, like, literal fantasy. I'm not complaining, though. 

Though Elisa died on the day her daughter Anna was born, they get to magically meet across time when they're unconscious 18 years apart. It's definitely weird and a little bit hokey, but it's also heartwarming and made me cry twice.
