CG short film “Between Times“ - by Max Porter & Ru Kuwahata

Inspired by the poetic meditations on relativity in Alan Lightman’s “Einstein’s Dreams,” “Between Times“ is the story of a single, transformative day told from the point-of-view of a small cuckoo clock pinned to a bakery wall. Each character that comes into the bakery has a different relationship to time: the Baker cuts bread into one second thick slices; the Neighbor lives under the pressing imperative of a biological clock; the Clock Repairman fixes broken time; an Older Lady moves her flower pot according to the changes of the sun. As the story unfolds, our cuckoo clock narrator is liberated from her fixed view and is able to transcend the boundaries of time and space.!
