Rewind (I) (2023)
3/10
Bad decision
27 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
We are shown a married man with a son - he works too hard which makes him impatient and short tempered at work and withdrawn and moody with his family. There is no communication between himself and his wife - but he seems to love his son who is a budding piano player.

He comes across his son talking to a picture of Jesus whom he calls Lod. One day at a work celebration he finds out that he has been passed over for promotion so he resigns. Later he is taking his wife to see his son's recital when they start to argue and his wife tells him that she has been meaning to tell him something for some time - she handily takes off her seatbelt and demands to get out - then - in the middle of nowhere some person appears in the middle of the road causeing them to swerve and end up hitting a tree. His wife goes through the windscreen and is killed.

He is full of grief and remorse - when suddenly here comes Lod - in the shape of a handyman and tells him he can get her back - but somebody must die in her place.

He offers himself and suddenly she is alive again and they have a loving reunion - but hang on - do you remember she had something to tell him? Yep - she intends to leave him and take their son to Singapore where she can realise her own dreams. What a wonderful mother - she knows he is making a valiant effort to change that he and his son adore each other - but what the heck - her ego is more important. They go to see their son's play - but 3pm is approaching - the time she died originally - and hubby aint feeling too grand.

He begs Lod to let him off the deal. - Lod says everything will be OK - hmmm - what version of OK do you mean Lod?

Not for Hubby - he's having a lie down in the foyer.

If only he could go back !!!
