What is Harriet’s ultimate goal?
Harriett’s painful experience of watching her boyfriend die in a road accident then jets her back in time to where she is in Max’s car, which is driving dangerously. Sounds aggravating. Yet, it appears that Harriet possesses an extraordinary capability that allows her to manipulate time and space through music. She’s intent on rescuing her lover, Max, but despite her numerous attempts, she has yet to be successful.
At this time, we see that Harriet is a rather affable and quiet young lady with a rather steady routine – of going to a center every other Saturday’s actions for people without any close relatives. Regardless of the time that has passed – two years – since her last gesture, and offering herself warmly to the meeting’s members, she is still very tense around her new friends. She covers herself listening to music and ensures that she does not unwittingly end up in the ‘wrong’ period. In one particular case, we do see her go back in time due to Leila who croons her favorite song – as previously mentioned, this is a clear indication of her spatial fixation.
Harriet’s companion, Morris, supports her in all her adventures including her time travel and mission to save Max. He wishes her well but informs her that it is time to let the past go. Ready to hear every recording ever produced, Harriet believes that doing so will help her save Max. The only question is, how? To rescue Max, Harriet has to make him turn right somehow before the car that will run him over.
These trips in the past also mean that Harriet spends minutes with him making her feel as if he is around. She usually turns to the time when they first met at an EDM festival whenever she feels like it. She also thinks about the day they spent on the beach together. Even if these periods are not permanent, much to her despair, they are temporary and soothe her aching heart.
What transpired between Harriet & David?
In the support group, he aims to be like Harriet and keeps his mouth shut about his own relatives’ suffering as well. He soon becomes smitten with her and, it is even decided, that they share the custody of a Roxy Record that is in limited supply. So, they begin to hang out at coffee houses to exchange records, but on one of the occasions, David inquires Harriet why she always seems to wear her headphones, and Harriet explains it is because of her illness.
Like Harriet, David had also a relative who was no more his parents. For him, music is a way of coping with that loss and keeping their memory alive. Their second meeting is more or less a restoration where Harriet walks away hoping to speak with David and shamefully takes off her headphones. However, she once more unintentionally time travels. Frightened by the experience, she runs away without explaining to David. Although she feels drawn to David, she is struck with guilt that whenever she is with David, the loyalty she owes Max is being compromised.
In the words of Mores, it is impossible to cheat on a person who is dead. Mores is fighting the good friend fight, coaxing Harriet to get on with her life, but she is still thinking about going back in time to change things. No matter how much she wants to, Harriet simply cannot stop thinking about David. Poor Max, he is just about out of the picture as David and effectively become a unit.
Over time, David witnesses Harriet experiencing some sort of a stroke, bringing her no option but to speak out. Harriet says certain songs bring her memory back to the days when her boyfriend was still alive, thus hurrying to ‘rescue’ him. The moment the music fades away, she returns to the present. While David is sorry for what happened to Harriet, he cannot help but be disturbed by her inability to let go of the past and move on. He chooses to refrain, telling Harriet to go for a walk and clear her head. At this point, David does not think that there exists a reality in which Harriet is capable of time travel.
Harriet is however determined not to give up on David, and hence, decides to keep seeing him. David takes her to his shop where they take several pictures and Harriet notices it is the same shop Max was in immediately before his accident. She identifies a record, which can be fast-forwarded and played at a later date to prevent Max from dying.
Having traveled back to Harriet’s current timeline, she was able to perform in front of David and now he wants to go back so that he could see his parents. David regrets not being able to see his parents and tell them how much he loves them. Unfortunately for David, he isn’t able to time travel like Harriet, and therefore, this dream remains just that.
Will Max’s life be spared by Harriet?
While out, Harriet sustains an injury and hurls herself into the past where she manages to save Max’s life. The only thing is that for Max to live, Harriet has to let him go. The difficulty arises when one considers the ramifications of such an action everything about the future would be drastically reshaped including the time when David and Harriet were fated to meet. It is a ghostly weight to carry, but Too many people are going to become too many ‘Harriets’ so she compels herself to accept the need of the hour. She goes back to the music festival where she meets Max but does not end up following him this time.
This minor adjustment changes everything, and as Harriet and Max do not end up together, Max never passes away. In the absence of Max’s death, Harriet did not attend the support group in which she encountered David. But toward the end, things do not go as expected. At the music festival, Harriet runs into David, and there seems to be the beginning of a love story again.
