Second Chances

10 views

Second Chances follows Andy, an inventor searching for a shortcut to a better life. When he tests a time-travel device he built, he encounters a future version of himself living a very different life. Through their meeting, Andy is forced to reflect on what truly matters—ambition, family, and the quiet moments that shape who we become. Blending emotional drama with gentle sci-fi, the film explores how change begins not in the future, but in the choices we make today.
