Unrest

In the 19th-century watchmaking town of Switzerland, a young factory worker named Josephine produces the unrest wheel, swinging in the heart of the mechanical watch, where she's exposed to new ways of organizing money, time and labor that ignite her involvement with the local anarchist movement. As she navigates this world, she meets Russian traveler Pyotr Kropotkin, marking the beginning of a journey that challenges the status quo and rebels against the tyranny of industrial capitalism. With meticulous attention to detail and stylized precision, Cyril Schäublin's film brings to life the intricate world of watchmaking and the tensions between tradition and revolution.
