FRIENDS IN TIME, a film by Gallant Abidin and Niedal Jalil.
Young Barry has a friend problem: he doesn’t have any. Lonely and left behind by others at school, he acts out by bullying Ted. Sitting at home playing video games one day, visitors from the future time travel to his living room, appearing out of nowhere to help him change the course of his life.

Well, thank you, guys.
You did a great job with your essays today.
I want you to read chapters two through four.
Class is dismissed-- have a good rest of your day.

What'd you learn from science class?
- Leave me alone.

- (gasping): Here.
- Good.

PRESENT BARRY: Because I want to be your friend.

Besides, it's melted.

Try calling him on your cell phone.
