In order to graduate film school, a self-centered student documents his terminally ill father’s attempt to recapture the heart of a former lover, prior to her impending marriage.

His choice of action to achieve his goal is a bit strange and feels somewhat forced. Granted, you made him use the very skill he is studying, but it makes little sense – indi films are notoriously fickle and rarely profitable, indi film making student documentaries, more so.

Good point about the subjective goal and objective goal cross over. In my mind, after he realises that he’s stuck in a time loop his instincts tell him to do anything he can to stop it.

This, for me, is a wonderful parallel to his journey of learning to become a better person – as DPG said not egocentric.
Therefore, in this case the MC’s action to achieve the objective goal is a mirror of his action to achieving the subjective goal – which in part is why the film resonates for many people on soo many levels.
