Tim passes by Abbey Road Studios when he arrives in London. For decades, the logo of the music company EMI could be seen above the name of the studio. In 2013, the EMI logo was removed above the studio name because the company was sold to Universal Music in September 2012, and, to comply with international regulators, EMI's European operations were sold to Warner Music in 2013. However, the studio was one of the operations that Universal Music was allowed to keep, but no logo of the new owner was put in place of the old EMI logo. See more »

A young man, like many others. Only he can travel in time. This main element of the plot, is something that was difficult to digest throughout the film, since it was not a predominantly sci-fi movie. This struggle was compensated by the successful interjection that even with such ability, life can have difficulties.
The main character, did use this to his advantage to win the love of the girl he was so fond of but still he often faced difficult choices as to let things happen or turn the time back to prevent them.
One thing that makes this stand out is the somewhat philosophical approach, an approach that is conveyed with simplicity so all can relate.
Overall, it is an intelligent film, with emotion and poignancy.
