Die Stadt, die es noch gibt (2021)

Nestled behind high mountains and dark forests lies Triberg, the birthplace of the cuckoo clock. For centuries, this cult item has been handcrafted right here, attracting tourists from all over the world. Ever since the boom of the 1980s has faded, the cuckoo clock has gradually lost its appeal and magic. And so has the place, which now resembles a ghost town. Its residents however still believe in their clock: Vendors, clock makers and tourist guides alike fight to preserve their beloved heritage. While some are making the clock fit for modern age, others try to revamp the town and its sights. Between abandoned restaurants and souvenir shops they hope for new tourists, while the clock continues ticking away.
