!!!! POSSIBLE SPOILERS !!!!!
Young Bob stands in front of the mirror wondering what he's going to look like twenty years from now as he goes to meet his girlfriend Mia . Later on he finds out what his future self will look like because he is introduced to himself in a cafe
Confused ? You should be and like a lot of short films there's no real explanations for the metaphysical happenings that take place on screen . You are just asked to sit back and take everything in your stride as the story unfolds , but like a lot of short films the premise is cleverer than the story itself and I was expecting one of those time paradox stories that were common in the new series of DOCTOR WHO but ORIGINAL BOB doesn't really play out like this
There is a central flaw to the story and that is writer/director Zam Salim has painted himself into a corner as to the unfolding love triangle between Mia and the two Bobs - Bob will end up with Mia no matter what Bob Mia falls in love with so Bob will experience love no matter what he does , he wins either way therefore there's little drama involved because everything is predestined for a happy ending in Bob's life either now or in the future
