I have done a synopsis on the film 'The butterfly Effect' because it is a similar genre to the film we are goin to do as our main project
The film is about Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher), who suffered severe traumas as a boy and a teenager. He tends to blacks out frequently, often in moments of high stress.
One day whilst he was in his dorm room reading one of his journals to a girl, he finds that when he reads from his adolescent journals, he travels back in time and is able to "redo" parts of his past. But he soon finds out that there are consequences to his choices. His alternate futures vary from frat boy to prisoner to amputee. His efforts are driven by the desire to undo the most traumatic events of his childhood which coincide with his blackouts, including saving his childhood sweetheart Kayleigh, from being molested by her father and tormented by her sociopathic brother.
The actions he takes, and those he enables others to take during his blackouts, change the timeline in the new future where he awakes. As he continues to do this, he realizes that even though his intentions are good, the actions he takes have unintended consequences. Which result in the dozens of years' worth of new memories from the alternate timelines causing him brain damage. Ultimately he decides that his attempts to alter the past end up only harming those he cares about so he travels back in time once more to the first day he met Kayleigh and scares her away. He succeeds in undoing his childhood as he knew it, and then destroys all his journals so that he's not tempted to bring any of it back.
The film ends eight years in the future with Evan leaving an office building and passing Kayleigh on the street. After a moment's hesitation, he lets her pass by without noticing him.
