    My first thought was that it's kinda creepy, that bloke having feelings for an old lady! Then again, maybe in the future he saw old photos of her being young & fell in love with that version of her. He knew her life story already. He took a big risk going back in time with a one-way ticket. I'm glad it paid off in the end. I liked it when she told him to forget the future he knows & that they'd make their own future. The best & happiest ending this video could have had.

      I've no doubt the bloke in this short film listened to the old woman he was caring for. I'd say that's enough to form a close friendship. With such a massive age gap though, thinking of her in a romantic way seems unnatural to me. (That's assuming he hadn't seen her closer to his own age). I know some couples have big age gaps, but there are limits.

He knew the woman he was dating wasn't elderly or senile, why would he treat her that way. It just made it seem like he'd never been with any woman ever before in life.

      You can film your own movie and make it that way!
      Hint: it's funnier this way. Not much, but it's a smart detail

    I thought that was French Stuart. Ron actually looks like a younger version of him.
    I really liked this a lot. the small mannerisms the timing, everything worked so well.
    A great video.

      He does that everytime so that she remembers. Because she kept forgetting it, even when she was older.
