Timepiece (2024) | Short Film

Something wrong? Sorry. Didn't mean to make you jump. No, it's fine. I just didn't see you sit down. So, what's wrong? Missed my bus for school. Oh, important day? Yeah. I had an exam. When is it? Nine. So you've missed it. I expect they'll let you retake it. That's a beautiful watch you have there. Oh, thanks. Doesn't work though. Oh, that's a shame. When did you get it? I was given it when I was born. My grandad wore it all his life. That's nice. Is he a nice man? He told he was. Oh. I'm sure he'd be glad you kept that watch. Do you get this bus often? No. It's my first time. Strange. I feel like I've seen you before. Hmm. Where are you going? I'm going to see someone I haven't seen for a long time. Oh. That's nice. An old friend? Of sorts. I don't expect they'll remember me though. It's been that long? Hmm. I'd like to have spent more time with them but we were forced to part ways. Why was that? I ran out of time. I had to go elsewhere. Sorry. You ran out of time? Hmm. Oh, look. Your bus is here. Oh. Right. Thank you. It was nice talking to... Excuse me. Have you got the time? Yeah, it is... It's 8.30. 8.30? Yeah. Thanks.
