New technologies are transforming a 19th-century watchmaking town in Switzerland. Josephine, a young factory worker, produces the unrest wheel, swinging in the heart of the mechanical watch. Exposed to new ways of organizing money, time and labor, she gets involved with the local anarchist movement.
Much like the clockwork timepieces over which its protagonist hunches in exacting scrutiny, this piquant tale of socialist activism is a jewel of precision engineering. A Berlinale prizewinner from Swiss rising star Cyril Schäublin, Unrest is as fastidiously conceived as it is stylistically playful.
