Introduction
"I'll Follow You Down" is a 2013 Canadian science-fiction drama film directed by Richie Mehta. The plot revolves around a young researcher's quest to solve the mystical disappearance of his father nine years back. The movie includes an ensemble cast that includes Haley Joel Osment, Gillian Anderson, Rufus Sewell, and Victor Garber.

Plot Summary
The movie begins with a physicist, Gabriel (Rufus Sewell), leaving on a company journey but inexplicably disappears, leaving his other half Marika (Gillian Anderson) and his kid Erol (John Paul Ruttan) distraught. The occurrence shows a profound effect on their lives, with Marika battling depression and Erol pledging to discover his father.

9 years pass, and Erol (now played by Haley Joel Osment) has become an appealing young physics student under the tutelage of his grandfather Sal (Victor Garber). Marika non-stop sticks onto the hope that Gabriel will return, however Erol considers him dead. While going through Gabriel's old possessions, Sal finds Gabriel's notes detailing an experiment that enabled time travel. Sal thinks that Gabriel may have utilized this experiment for his trip, fulfilling an unexpected death or getting stuck in time.

Erol, after preliminary reluctance, chooses to recreate the experiment and reverse his daddy's disappearance. He hopes it would alter the course of their household's living conditions and his mom's deteriorating mental health. The only individual standing between him and this compulsive mission is his girlfriend Grace (Susanna Fournier), who is worried about the possible threats and moral implications of horning in time.

Climax
Despite severe cautions from Grace, who is now his better half and pregnant with their child, Erol decides to continue with the time-travel experiment. He manages to successfully take a trip back in time and fulfills Gabriel before he leaves for his trip. Erol cautions him about his impending fate, ensuring that he does not interfere with the time continuum. Gabriel concurs not to continue with the experiment, therefore avoiding the catastrophe.

Conclusion
Returning to his present time, Erol discovers that everything has actually altered. His daddy is still alive, his mother is no longer experiencing depression, and he is not married to Grace, negating their child's existence. In the end, the movie leaves the audience with a thought-provoking narrative on the principle and impact of time travel, its ethical ramifications, and the cost of modifying the timeline for multiple individuals involved.
