About this movie

In conversation with his young son, a filmmaker wonders about time — our attempts to control it, and how it controls us. Intimate and political, poetic and scientific, the film explores the tension between objective and subjective time: from physicists tending atomic clocks, to people's daily encounters with the temporal, to the instrumentalization of time for power and commerce.
