Cute and Romantic
Hitchcoc2 April 2019
A man is having a date with an attractive young woman. It turns out he is from the future and he knows this woman when she is ninety years old. But because he liked the old lady, he wants to go back and marry her. What follows is a hilarious byplay between the incredulous young lady and this dorky guy. Because he knows her from the nursing home he does things like cut her meat for her. Nice comedy timing.

Great Short time travel film
william-elsley8 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Wonderful short film two superb actors, Ron and Emily, who is stunning, really make this a believable story.

Spoilers included: The premise is Ron meets Emily in a nursing home where he looks after her in her old age, he feels he has such a good relationship with her that it would have be great to meet her when she was young. Without giving away more humour ensues as the couple adjust to the reality of the situation, Ron has seen Emily as an old woman Emily can't accept the way she turned out. I particularly love the way Ron cuts up her food for her and then starts feeding her as they talk without her really noticing. Highly recommended. I would love to see them both in more material Emily to me particularly stood out as a beautiful young actress, Good luck to them both.

what to say ?
Kirpianuscus1 April 2018
For me, it is one of the most impressive romance film. sweet, delicate, amusing, tender. and, sure, well acted. a story about second chance. and love. and the desire of many from us to fix our/others past. a beautiful film. who, really must be viewed by a large public. for a sort of innocence, always touching, delicate and ...usefull.

Best thing I've caught on YouTube...

...since I don't know when. Nicely written, directed, shot. Excellent work from the two leads, both of whom I hope to see more of in the future (Emily "Hill Yes" Bell---Hubbah! Hubbah!), not to mention the rest of everyone involved. Found this one courtesy of the Dust channel. Smart little fantasy rom-com short. More words really aren't necessary; hie yourself on over to YouTube and enjoy. Then watch more of these folks' stuff.

Excellent short romantic science fiction film
richard_sikora6 January 2020
This is a really nice romantic time-travel short film and one of my favourites.

We start by seeing Stuart take Kaylie to dinner at a restaurant. Some of his behaviour is rather strange, but as the story unfolds it all makes sense. I like some of Emily Bell's facial expressions when she reacts to what he knows about her.

Imagine someone came from the future to tell you that all your hopes and dreams for your entire life would fail to materialise and would end up with a lonely existence, as happens to Kaylie here. An opportunity to change your future would be a preferable choice, no matter how bizarre.

The only thing I found silly was the 2D human hologram reminiscent of Quantum Leap, so less one mark.

If you like short science fiction films like this, another excellent one is "A Purgatory Story".

Temporal mechanics is always fun and this is a great story in a small package. I found their story to very interesting. Worth the time to watch. The actors are brilliant! I hope to see more of them.
