In case of bad weather we show the movie indoors.

1877: Russian cartographer Pyotr Kropotkin arrives in a valley in the Swiss Jura, attracted by the highly developed watchmaking industry there and the news that workers have formed an anarchist trade union. He encounters a society in which officials and gendarmes watch over the correct time and set the pace for the production plant and the community.

The production processes in the watch factories are being organized ever more efficiently, with control to the second creating increasing pressure on the workers. Josephine, who watches over the assembly of the balance wheel, the heart of the mechanical watch, and meets the newcomer Kropotkin, can also tell a thing or two about this. Inspired by anarchist ideas, they demand the liberation of time, setting solidarity and pacifism against market laws and nationalism.
