He falls in love with Gloria, a beautiful employee in the HR department, but she doesn’t treat him seriously.
      In his flat Adam finds a radio from the 1950’s that broadcasts the beautiful music from the past. The radio also emits the Theta waves that facilitate time travel. Adam starts to experiment with the Theta waves and he gets stuck in the past. When he doesn’t show up for work Gloria - realizing that she has lost true love - starts to look for him in the past.
