The Time Traveler (1984) AKA The Next one (1984)

An American widow (Adrienne Barbeau) moves to a Greek island with her son and their dog. She makes a simple life away from technology. One day while traversing a deserted stretch of beach they come upon a naked man (Keir Dullea.) He washed ashore. On his back is an imprinted magnetic number. They befriend the stranger give him clothes, drugs, money, and sex. In return, they find out where he is from and that he just missed seeing his brother by two days or two millennia.

Can he ever go back?

If so will he ever return?

What would you do?

The story is more a study of human nature than it is sci-fi or time travel.

You may recognize Keir Dullea from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968).

Of course, we all recognize Adrienne Barbeau as Dr. Kurtz in "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death" (1988). "We eat our men"
