In the first vignette, Hector's a caveman striving to protect his loved ones from harm. Centuries later, during the Roman Empire, he's the captive slave of a dim-witted fellow who fails to recognize the value of family life. While in the Middle Ages, Hector falls for a beautiful widow who's desperately trying to fill her dead husband's shoes. As a Portuguese colonialist, he's a romantic explorer. And in modern times, Hector's a divorced dad who plays catch-up with his kids on the weekend. He may progress from caveman to city slicker but there's no guarantee he'll learn what he needs to know to get his personal life together. [More]
