Detailed Synopsis
Purposely set against the backdrop of a young depressed teenager from a broken home, we are introduced to someone that thirsts for an ability to make real change in the lives of those he loves most. What we see is that he still feels that pain of his parents break-up that occurred in his early teens. Also his close relationship with both of them is still clouded by the feeling that nothing could have prevented the divorce. And yet, he still feels guilt. When he discovers he has the power to time travel with the use of his olfactory senses, this new ability provides a life-changing opportunity that may provide the resolution he has been looking for. He therefore decides to go back in time to the pivotal moment before his parents marriage, and make the ultimate sacrifice with the intention of providing them new hope and a new life. Herein lies a parallel with the biblical story of Jesus, where sad irony lies in the notion of a perfect altruistic person sacrificing his life to offer hope to others.
