Set in Berlin, this is a fun, dazzling comedy that recalls French favourite Amelie.
Following a childhood trageday, Cleo longs to be able to turn back time. With her new friend Paul and a mysterious map, Cleo sets off on a quest to find a magic clock that has been missing since the 1920s. Berlin is bursting with zany characters and urban legends, where Cleo seeks her heart’s desire. Using stop-motion techniques and magic realism, Germany’s capital truly shines in this romantic adventure.

Erik Schmitt’s first feature is a playful ode to Berlin. In 2019 the film was awarded the Prize for Best Children’s and Youth Film at Schwerin Film Festival.

Presented by Terenure Library Dublin and the Goethe-Institut Irland.
