The Man from the Future

At a 1991 college party, the older João encounters his younger self and Helena and warns them about the fate that awaits them. He tries to steer events toward a different outcome, recognizing that the night will ripple through time. The moment establishes the central time-travel dilemma that drives the story.

The future version of João explains several possible futures and hints at a way to secure financial stability. He emphasizes the consequences of choices and attempts to influence the couple to reconsider their plans. The revelation deepens the tension between past and future selves.

Young João and Helena rekindle their connection, while the future João urges them to resist Ricardo’s drugged-champagne scheme. They consider choosing a different fate that avoids humiliation and heartbreak. The moment hardens the clockwork of potential timelines.

Ricardo plans to spike Helena’s champagne, risking a humiliating moment on stage. The plan puts Helena's future at stake, and the others scramble to derail it. The sequence foreshadows how small choices can cascade across timelines.

After attempting to steer events toward a better outcome, the spaceman-João vanishes, leaving the party to unfold with its own unpredictable consequences. The missing presence underscores the fragility of the timelines. The night continues to ripple outward into the unknown.

In 2011's alternate present, João is wealthy but not married to Helena. He reveals the existence of a company named Man From The Future and his tense history with Otávio. He claims to be the João from another timeline inhabiting a new body and plans to reset history by reactivating the time machine.

The spaceman-João travels back to 1991 and confronts the original-future João and the younger João. The confrontation magnifies the stakes of changing history and rocks the loyalties of everyone involved. The scene reframes who is guiding whom across timelines.

The alternate-future Otávio strides into the 1991 scene after João’s departure from the alternate 2011 timeline. His arrival adds another layer to the already tangled timelines and tests the relationships among the trio. The night grows more volatile as timelines bleed into one another.

The spaceman-João urges Helena to abandon her relationship with the younger João and meet him again twenty years in the future. The instruction deepens the moral conflict and frames a choice between personal happiness and a broader destiny. Helena wrestles with betraying love or pursuing a larger plan.

The spaceman-João destroys the time machine’s source code, arguing the device is too dangerous to keep. He reveals a video of a younger Sandra to back up his claims about time travel. He also begins communicating with Helena via Twitter, setting the stage for a reunion at the airport.

João and Helena reunite at the airport as the 2011 sequence resolves, and Ricardo loses his hold over Helena’s life. The couple’s renewed bond hints at a stable future, though the fate of time remains unsettled. The moment blends romance with the mystery of altered timelines.

A year after the reunion, João is acquitted of destroying the project. Sandra reveals that the timeline they thought was altered may actually be the original, subtly nudged toward financial security. The ambiguity leaves them unsure which version of events truly exists.

With the timelines in flux, Helena and João decide to move forward together, aware of the costs their journey has imposed. Helena notes that João’s extraordinary voyage came with consequences and a sense of being ‘cheated.’ They choose hope despite the uncertainty.
