Talk after watching

  • Sarah and David revisit choices that shaped their lives. If you could redo one day, which would it be?
  • The film asks whether past pain can be repaired. What helps when you miss someone important?
  • Time travel here is emotional, not scientific. How do memories change how we see ourselves?
