Switzerland, Fiction, 2022, 93′

A story about anarchy and watchmaking that gets its name from the intricate piece that forms the “heart” of the watch. We are in the 19th century, in St. Imier, Switzerland, a place dedicated to the manufacture of watches and where Josephine works. As she learns new ways of thinking about money, labour and, of course, time, she becomes involved in the anarchist watchmaking movement, where she meets Pyotr Kropotkin.
