A mysterious encounter between a man who claims to be from the future and the man that he claims is his former self. A surreal psychological thriller about loss and regret.
Terry Gilliam: "...very well done. I was surprised when it ended, I thought we were off on a much longer journey. Seeing that room filled with all the variations made me want to spend a lot of time with the problems that it would raise."
