If you're travelling through time as incessantly as Doctor Who does, it's really not all that surprising for one to run into one's former self/incarnation every now and again (though that theory don't stand the test of mathematical probability for sure), so when one Doctor (Maya Rubin) meets another (Ryan Stinson) they are cool with it - except for the fact that they are both now in their tweens/early teens. Seems like somebody has stolen the time helmet, in fact the latest (to them still future) incarnation of themselves (Emmett Driscoll). So the two Doctors, along with three more other Doctors (Kineta Ludwig, Forest Shafer, Sharlie Malko) and their prerogatory earthling companion, partygirl Stella (Alex Pena) chase down their future self while never asking themselves the question whether they're on the right path ...

Filmed as part of the summer camp of an acting school for youngsters, of course this shows on screen - so don't expect any exaggerated production values and do expect a rather young cast. And somehow both goes well with the source material, classic Doctor Who, back when the series still tried (and often succeeded) to get the most of a shoestring budget and it never shied away from trying to answer (however wrongly) questions about time conundrums. So for fans of the series this one will work great as it almost feels like canon without ever trying to. Sure, without knowing the show, you mght feel a little lost, but maybe it will encourage you to watch some of the series of old.
