The Butterfly Effect
In 2095, 3 distinct people lived in a country led by a dictator who has prohibited time travel. Someday, they were given time traveling clocks from a young and mysterious man.
Each one of them had traumatic experiences in the past, and they thought of using the clocks to fix their tragic experiences. The first man went back to the time when his brother died in a car accident. The second one went back to his teenage years when his best friend was, by the federal police, discovered time-traveling and killed. The third one went back 2 years earlier to prevent his father from time traveling in order to save his wife from death (which got him killed by the federal police later on).
After going and coming back from the past, they tried to change reality several times. However, nothing seemed to work. In the end, they ended up dying in the place of their loved ones.
