Unrest
Directed by Cyril Schäublin
Produced by Seeland Filmproduktion, Cinédokké
A contemplative historical drama about labor, mechanization, and political awakening in 19th-century Switzerland, told through the intimate perspective of a factory worker caught between tradition and radical change.
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.
