Guys, I'm working on a short story. Rate my idea:
>random russian physics professor shows up in another country's backwater village
>buys himself a huge estate, becomes wine mogul and restores a mansion despite having no practical skills
>eventually marries and has a daughter
>daughter gets friendly with only other boy her age (it's a small village)
>they grow up as close friends/lovers to a backdrop of the russian guy inventing wacky shit in his backyard
>boy keeps getting weird dejá-vu all his life
>one day the girl dies in a tragic accident
>russian guy calls the boy, tells him he's built a machine capable of erasing her death
>they get in the machine, the village is nuked, and they reincarnate in another parallel universe
>turns out they're reliving their lives 10000x times until they manage to save the girl, but don't actually realise until the dejá-vu randomly kicks in at the appropriate time in the loop

It's a bit cliché, but I'm trying to write it in a Flaubertian/Tolstoyan omniscient narrator style (like Flaubert's Felicité).

Any thoughts? I'm not really sure how to end it.
