In The Man from the Future (O Homem do Futuro), writer-director Cláudio Torres navigates the intricacies of love, pride and time travel in this cross-genre story. After accidentally opening a portal to the past, a brilliant-though-ill-tempered physicist decides to seize the opportunity the way any man in his position would—by traveling back in time to get even with his college girlfriend who dumped him. However, his pride and folly soon make him both fail his mission and tangle himself in a time-traveling and multi-person quagmire of quantum proportions.
