L'Orologio 2023

The long, troubled, but intriguing story of an ancient clock and its numerous owners, from 1922 to today.

Directed by Francesco Buttani

The short film chronicles the journey of a watch over the course of a century. In 1922, after being sold at an auction, stolen the same day, and after passing into the hands of a gambling addict it was forgotten. At the dawn of 1982 a family finds him but soon, tempted by the modern, condemns him to the window of an antique dealer. Forty years later a woman, attracted, decides to have the story of that magnificent, now forgotten watch told.
