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