Product Description
After a scientific experiment goes horribly wrong during a demonstration, a scientist finds himself trapped in an alternate reality that bears some similarities to our own, but also has some striking differences. In this other reality the Second World War had never occurred, mankind had not yet traveled into Space and Mt. Everest had not yet been conquered. Also in this other reality he is no longer a scientist but a well known author. He also finds that he is married to a beautiful woman who he instantly falls in love with but who his alternate self never cared for. He has some difficulty convincing anyone that he is not actually who they think he is. With the help of a physics professor who believes his story, he finally manages to convince his 'wife' that he is not the man she knew before. After a personal tragedy in this alternate world, he finds himself back in his own world and desperately trying to locate the woman he fell in love with in the other world. Little does she know, however, that her life depends on him finding her.

Sad and romantic sci-fi love story. August 21, 2008
FAMOUS NAME (UNITED KINGDOM)
Romantic time-travel love story starring Joan Collins and Tom Bell.
Tom Bell plays a Physicist who gets caught up in a 'random quantum physics' experiment which inadvertently sends him off into a 'parallel universe'. Once there, and after 'finding his feet', he falls in love with a woman who is his present wife, but is about to divorce him. Having 'reconciled' their union, he then discovers she has a fatal heart condition that could have been cured in the 'other' world, but is incurable here, because the necessary treatment has not been discovered. Suddenly, he is sent back to the original universe, and has to seek out the same woman who won't even recognise him, and does not know she is ill.
An unusual film with a haunting theme with a few unpredictable little details. Also stars Denholm Elliot and Johnny Briggs.
