However then you have to get your own time, and if your time gets to zero, you die. In this way those with time can keep the world from becoming overpopulated. When Salas' mother (Olivia Wilde) dies because Salas culd not get her more time before she died, he sets out on this vendetta. Someone who wants to die gives him 100 years, and this gets him into a richer high society neighborhood. There he meets Sylvia Weiss (Amanda Seyfried) whose father (Vincent Kartheiser) has benefitted by the system--living at age 25, forever. His wife, mother and child all appear the same and are all 25 in terms of aging. He first Salas kidnaps her, sort of but she wants to go with him, and they begin to change the system, by stealing years from banks. The Timekeeper (Cillian Murphy) tells Sylvia's father she doesn't appear to want to be rescued. Salas and Sylvia make a pretty good team. There is always a bigger bank.
