    I have always found the concept of time travel fascinating and in terms of films there have been a number of top ones made in this specific genre over the years.

    Recently I also discovered a few short film stories that were more than worth watching, such as the one minute time machine story which was great in its simplicity.

    So when I read this story I thought I had discovered another top story.

    Unfortunately, this one disappointed me greatly, and that has almost entirely to do with the interaction between the 2 main characters who have incredibly childish and irritating conversations with each other about the main plot.

    It quickly becomes so bad that it ruins the entire story, only when he finally talks to the woman he desires does it go back in the right direction for a while, but the ending is another big step backwards.

    What a shame.

    beautiful

    A beautiful, ironic and delicate story of love and friendship, using time travel as a precious spice for a comedz about romanticism, talks, advices, tries to be with the chosen and about the not real reasonable price of victorz. Short, just beautiful.
