Plot
Stockholm, February 1968. A petty theft spirals when Sebbe and Adam accidentally destroy the pocket watch meant for an unknown client. Desperate, they turn to watchmaker Karl for an urgent repair, but their anxiety soon shifts to a darker fear. Confined to Karl’s cramped workshop, distrust and rising paranoia transform their predicament into a claustrophobic psychological chamber play. As midnight nears, buried truths and old revenge surface.
