Narrator:

We are not creating the future, the future is creating us, a lot of people think that we are moving from the past to the future, but in fact we are moving in two directions, from the past to the future and from the future to the past. and the present is created by that person who knows the past and the future.

It’s all about time…

We watch London at night from above.

Ext. Balcony – night

There is a party in the house. We watch a handsome man, who is looking at the fireworks from the balcony.

This is Phoenix.

A young woman came up to him.

Eliza:

Phoenix, somebody is feeling really bad in the hall, it seems like a heart attack, your help is needed!

Phoenix and Eliza run upstairs.

Int. Room – night

Phoenix:

So, who is feeling bad?

Eliza (moaning):

I feel bad, so bad!

Eliza is kissing Phoenix.

Suddenly Phoenix’s wife is entering the room.

Carolina:

Why did you call me? Whaaat?

Carolina’s running away.

Phoenix is pushing Eliza away and hitting her face.

Int. Pub – night

Phoenix is drinking a lot of alcohol.

Int. House – morning

Phoenix is entering his house.

He is really drunk.

Fade in

Int. House – afternoon

Phoenix is waking up with a terrible headache, he see the note on the table.

Point of view

Close on

The note:

Bury me in the ocean, I will become a dozen of whales and a hundred dolphins… I will be in every drop, I will be in everything. Everyone will thirst for me as everyone thirsts for water. Everyone will love me as everyone loves the sea. I will be a mermaid…

Fade in

Int. House – night

The song by John Lennon "…forgive me, my little flower princess…»

Phoenix is lying on the floor, he hugs a photo of his dead wife and cries out loud.

Int. House – night

Phoenix is on the couch with glass of wine and watching film «La dolce vita» by Federico Fellini.

Screen:

Marcello Rubini says the phrase: «You are the first woman on the first day of creation. You are mother, sister, lover, friend, angel, devil, earth, home.»

Phoenix is watching the film «The Matrix’ and after the phrase «Free your mind’ was heard he stopped the film.

Fade in

Int. Church – morning

Hurts’ song «Redemption» is played.

Phoenix enters the Catholic Church, he sees many candles, lamps, bright light passes through the stained glass windows, everything is flooded with radiance and glow.

Phoenix started talking to the priest, but we do not hear about anything, we only hear the song.

The music becomes quieter and we can hear them.

Father:

Modern theology has become more lenient towards suicide. She was in a state of passion… so God will forgive her and perhaps she’ll go to heaven.

Phoenex:

And what about me? What should I do?

Father:

You should pray and ask God for forgiveness.

Phoenix:

But it seems to me that this ain’t enough! I want to change the situation, I didn’t want!

Father:

Perhaps you want to go back in time?

If it were possible, I wouldn’t speak

to you now.

Suddenly, the whole room was lit up with an even brighter light, so bright that Phoenix could not resist and closed his eyes.

Ext. Street – afternoon

Phoenix walks down the street and sees the name of the esoteric store «Know Your Future’.

Phoenix walks inside.

Iny. Store – afternoon

There’s a girl in the store, a foreigner, dressed in ethnic attire.

Phoenix:

Hey, I just saw the name of the store and…

Rosa:

Hi, I am Rosa, chshshsh… don’t tell nothing, cards will talk…

Rosa takes a deck of cards and starts doing a card reading.

Rosa:

My cards say that you made a mistake, oh… someone died,

you are in despair, you wanna change…

Phoenix:

You’re right, it’s true! My wife…

Rosa:

But I see that great success awaits you! You’ll reach your goal! Probably her death was not in vain!

Phoenix:

Wow! Is it possible to bring the past back with tarot cards?

Rosa:

I can see the past and I cannot change it, but I can see the future and therefore I can change

it.

Phoenix:

What about special rituals to go back in time?

Rosa:

There are some rituals, but they are really dangerous.

Fade in

Ext. Street – evening

Phoenix continues his walk around the city, he sees the poster of the lecture «Through Time’ by Dr. Michael.

Int. Hall – evening

Lecture:

Michael:

If you remember your past, why don’t you remember your future? Life is a cycle, life is an infinite circle, the planet is round and nature is cyclical. Life is a constant repetition of some situations with different shades. Look at your past and you will see your future. Look at the life of your ancestors and you will see the future of your grandchildren. The man is in love with a girl, he thinks: ’why did I fall in love with her? Ordinary girl with braids’, but in the depths of his DNA, his grandfather says: «I was in love with a girl with braids, but we couldn’t be together, please be with this girl and I will be happy!». You think this is your life, but actually it is the life of your ancestors. You can improve or worsen this cycle, but you cannot change it completely, otherwise you risk falling out of this circle of life, from this infinite matrix.

Applause from the audience

The lecture is over, Phoenix approaches the doctor to talk.

Phoenix:

Fantastic lecture, bravo! I’m just interested in the possibilities with time and travel through time! Do you know scientists who work with this?

Michael:

This is really interesting! I know one guy, he is a psychologist and he works with different mental practices, I gotta his business card! Dr. Richardson.

Ext. City – morning

Phoenix met Dr. Richardson, they walk and talk.

Dr. Richardson:

We don’t see the wind, but it create movement, we can’t see radio waves, but they move from one place to another. We can’t see thoughts, but I feel like they can move from one person to another, even through big distances… We do not see the information field, but it does not mean that it doesn’t exist. Thought is a very fast thing, it means that it can travel huge distances and distances in time. When the thought comes to your mind, there are several options, or you created this thought, or you caught someone’s thought, or this thought came from another time, from the past or from the future. But there may be a branch of thoughts that create a picture – a dream. When we write books, when we write poems, songs, we can catch information from the future. We accidentally say some phrases, words, spontaneously begin to sing something, these are signs. People are trying to find a time machine, but the time machine is in our heads.

Phoenix:

So, you don’t deny that time travel is possible?

Dr. Richardson:

I am sure that it’s possible, we just have to learn the ways to control this process.

Int. House – evening

Phoenix returns home, he enters the bathroom and sees that there is water in the bathroom, then the water rises and transforms into the spirit of his wife.

Caroline’s spirit is silent.

Phoenix:

Honey, forgive me, please, forgive!

I need to find some redemption… I will save you… I’ll bring you back…

Int. Room – evening

Phoenix is looking for information about time travel.

The titles of the articles he is looking at:

«The Philadelphia Experiment. Einstein’s unsuccessful attempt to invent a time machine.»

«Mirages from the past, how is this possible?»

«The plane took off in 1992, landed in 1986, eye-witness view’.

Phoenix starts looking for chats where people communicate about the ability to travel in time.

Chat:

Sarah:

Help, please, I beg you,

I don’t want to live, I can’t forgive myself! My boyfriend killed himself and it’s only my fault…

Philipp:

Does anyone know an efficient way to travel back in time? I don’t want to change history, win the lottery, or the stock exchange… I just wanna bring my wife and son back to life, they died in a car accident…

Paul:

You can go back to the past with magic, there is a demon, from the book «Solomon’s small key’, call him, he will create an alternative reality. But it is dangerous for the psyche.

Rachel:

Guys, u need to accept… and if it’s difficult, go to church.

Iren:

Hello, my beloved husband died two months ago. I am ready for absolutely everything to return to the past and prevent his death! If someone knows how to do this,

Please text me.

Lusy:

Help to return to the past!

I really want to return my little daughter, she disappeared without any trace, I can’t find her for 3 years!

Peter:

Hello! I write you from Russia. No one believes me… I just want to help… A year ago my wife died, I was in a terrible depression… And one old man told me about Lake Seydozero… My wife came back to life and now we are happy!

Philipp:

Peter, is this a Russian joke? Are you sure or did you just drink a lot of vodka? We have no time for jokes…

Lucy:

Peter, I believe you, I wanna meet you!

Laura:

The universe does not accept empty spaces, if you bring someone back to life, another person must die in return, perhaps you.

Sophie:

Maybe I am stupid, but I really want to go back in time to save my cat, he died because of me… I forgot to close the window and went to the store… He got stuck in the window and died, oh… he was dying so painfully… I can’t forgive myself for that…

Marshall:

Hello guys, I’m a scientist and inventor, I’m trying to invent a time machine, I have one idea, but I’m looking for people willing to participate in an experiment! But you must understand that this can be really dangerous!

Phoenix is typing text.

Phoenix:

Hello, I’m one of you, i need to go back in time! I have an idea, let’s meet tomorrow at my office! Together we can test all possible ways to travel in time!

Int. Office – morning

Phoenix makes phone calls.

Phoenix:

Hello? Rosa? I’d like to meet you… Yeah… In my office… Michael? Dr. Richardson? Would be great to meet you again… in my office… today.

Int. Hall – evening

Phoenix, Rosa, Michael, Dr. Richardson, Sarah, Philipp, Iren, Lusy, Sophie and Marshall met in the hall.

Phoenix:

I brought you all together because we all have the same interest. We are all interested in time travel opportunities!

Sarah:

Or… probably… we’ve got the same

Mental disorder!

Dr. Richardson:

As a psychologist, I’d say that we are not crazy, we just think wider than others. Nothing is impossible for humanity, we can defeat any beast, we can overcome any obstacles, there are many cases when people recovered from very serious illnesses, there is always a chance to survive in a war, there is always a chance to survive during natural disasters! Human is the most powerful creature of the planet! Only angels and God stand above man! We study space, we created the Internet and we will create a time machine, and if not us, someone after us.

Phoenix:

So, we have different options for time travel, firstly we have to experience Marshall’s invention.

Phoenix takes a marker and starts writing down all the options on the board.

Phoenix:

Marshall, please tell us more about your invention.

Marshall takes out his blueprints and starts showing them to the audience.

Marshall:

I won’t explain to you the meaning of all formulas and terms, if briefly… The whole point is in mirrors, some scientists have already tried to create something similar, in general, this is a mirror room, all the walls are made of mirrors inside and out. Inside there are lightt sources at equidistant points, the mirroring effect increases their speed and makes the light energy infinite. If the rays of light move clockwise, we move into the future, when the rays move counterclockwise, we move into the past.

Phoenix:

Wow! Lewis Carroll was probably right,

it’s all about the mirror!

Marshall:

I’ve already tried sending items through time, and they disappeared! I tried to install the camera, but when I turn on the machine, all equipment stops working!

Narrator:

Marshall wanted to tell something else, he should have told that he tried to send his cat to the past, but then he found him dead…

Rosa:

I think it’s a really good idea. You know, some people can see more information through mirrors, and even spirits, this ability is passed on from ancestors, and there are also special mirrors made of special metals… It calls electrum magicum – a composition of seven metals, compounded according to certain rules and planetary influences; a preparation of great magic power, of which magic rings, mirrors, and many other things may be made.
