She is then approached by a young man who claims to know who she is and that he is the same as her. They form a close friendship and he introduces her to other people who appear to have experienced the same thing as Natalie. The remainder of the film consists of the two of them becoming closer in their friendship until right at the end where they are both involved in an accident together, causing them to forget each other.
