The son of a prostitute of an eastern European village, Tobias spends his new life in a watch factory. Being alienated by his monotonous work, which seems to slow down the hands of time, he finds a(nother) way out in writing and patient waiting for a woman who exists only in his imagination. Or perhaps not. As always, the arts are the shield and revenge from a tiring routine and slow speed of life. The story has a literary touch even in its photography, which has been masterfully curated by Luca Bigazzi.
