Two islands in the Bering Strait are just 2 miles apart—yet separated by 21 whole hours in time. Known as the Diomede Islands, they are called Yesterday Island and Tomorrow Island, a place where geography bends reality.

In this documentary, discover the bizarre mystery of the Diomedes: how families were torn apart, why one island is populated while the other is empty, and how an invisible line can divide not just nations—but time itself.

The Diomede Islands are a haunting reminder that borders and time zones are human inventions—fragile, strange, and sometimes surreal. Their story asks us to reflect on how geography, politics, and time shape human life in ways we often overlook.
