This is a rough cut from an independent short film-in-progress project called Casimir Effect the brainchild of UK filmmakers Gabriel Strange and Lydia Wood, and starring Torchwood s Gareth David Lloyd as the male lead. Dr. Alice Sharpe (Zoe Mills) is a quantum physicist in the year 2101 who becomes the first person to travel through time. Naturally, a temporal paradox ensues, and Alice must choose to be with the man she loves thereby risking the collapse of the space-time continuum or sacrifice her own happiness to save the entire universe. Sometimes love really sucks.
