Young Helen is fired from her job at a PR company, and when the
sliding doors of the tube car close on her, we start to see what
would have happened if she'd made the train, and if she hadn't.

Summary written by Anonymous


Arriving at work one morning, Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) discovers
that she had been unjustifiably sacked from her PR job. She is
returning home when an amazing thing happens, time reverses
itself for a few seconds and a second version of herself is
created. In one reality Helen catches the tube train, meets
James (John Hannah) and arrives home to find her loathsome
lothario lover Gerry (Lynch(I), John) cheating on her with his
ex-girlfriend Lydia (Jeanne Tripplehorn). In the other reality
Helen misses the tube train, gets mugged, goes to hospital and
eventually arrives home to find Gerry alone in the shower. The
two realities move forward in tandem; in one Helen leaves Gerry
and forms a happy, new, loving relationship with James; in the
other Helen's live becomes more and more wretched as she takes
on two jobs to support her worthless, cheating boyfriend as he
supposedly writes his novel but in fact carries on a torrid
affair with Lydia.
