“Time… Hours… Minutes… Seconds… Time does not exist, we invented it ourselves. This is a beautiful illusion that fills our life with mystical meaning. The whole of human history is a search for a loophole in time, a desire to use Him not against oneself, but for the good." The film shows the expectations of twelve people happening in parallel on a certain day at five o'clock in the evening. A subtle, thought-provoking film about the essence and meaning of time in life. For RADO Switzerland.
