Notes
  1. The film uses the real-world Anno Domini or Common Era calendar instead of "A.G.", even though the numbers used are the same.
  2. Despite the film's title, it is actually set in 2019, when multinational corporations have banned any sort of sexual activity. The protagonists try to find a method of travelling back in time to prevent this law from being passed.[4]
