Ticking Away by Michael Sewnarain

Ticking Away is a story about a watchmaker. The director, Michael Sewnarain, got the inspiration from observing his father at work. He was a watchmaker himself and the home he grew up in was always full of old clocks in various states of repair. Though it is by no means an autobiographical film, the memories did leave an impression.
