Description

In a cluttered laboratory, a renowned physicist reveals to his close circle that his life's work has been the pursuit of true time travel. He believes a hidden destiny ties his research to a pivotal moment involving his grandson Alan and Alan's fiancée, Ruth, whose presence seems to intensify the mystery. As the young couple listens, they are thrust into a choice that could alter more than just their own futures.

When Alan finally steps into the experimental device, the world dissolves into a strange, monochrome void, and he feels the pulse of an unseen current guiding him through ages. The narrative follows his bewildering first plunge into the past, the sensations of weightless travel, and the haunting question of what task history has set for him. Listeners are invited to share his awe, uncertainty, and the tantalizing promise that some moments are meant to be revisited.
