The Time Machine

A homeless man (Fausto Di Marco) sits on the sidewalk, and turns as he hears money dropping into the cup. A teenager (Yi Chen) walks in front of him and kneels down, asking him for his story. The story begins in the headmaster's office, where the headmaster (Eric Mayer) signs a sheet of approval and hands it to the homeless man as a teenager (Danyal Zafar). Both his parents are dead and the headmaster only let him stay because he sees potential in his love for mathematics. The teenager studies in the library until he realizes that there will never be enough time to learn everything. He comes up with the idea of making a time machine, and works on it until he turns into a grown man. He finds the key to success when he was about to give up, and built a time machine. He tested it and it works, the people in the school corridors are all frozen. He continues to study with the time stopped and made major advancements and eventually became rich. He then starts thinking that he did not enjoy the fun of life at a young age, so he collected a briefcase of money and traveled back in time to give it back to his old self. His old self accepts the money, and quit studying. The headmaster revokes his approval of letting him stay and he and ended up spending all the money on gambling and drugs. This caused the grown man to forget everything when he was traveling back to his own time. He ended up back in the same place in the library, not able to comprehend anything, and the time machine has disappeared. He cannot stay in the library, and has no relatives and no knowledge, and he ended up homeless. The movie finishes with the homeless man finishing his story, and then cuts to black as he says: '... and a homeless man cannot build a time machine.'
