I had a copy of the Director's cut which I must say is an inferior version of the film. It's is 56 minutes longer. And it changes the entire picture. I wish I had not seen it. Toto meeting Elena as adults serves no purpose other than reveiling that Alfredo is ultimately responsible for Toto and Elena's unfulfilled love.
This in turn tarnishes the audience's percieved relationship between Alfredo and Toto. At the end of the film I found myself angry that Alfredo didn't give Toto the message from Elena.
