Die gestohlene Zeit

This story shows the emotional ups and downs of a complex journey through time and how this affects the fate of the different characters. The conflict between past, present and future as well as the acceptance of loss and grief characterize the plot, whilst the pocket watch as a central element illustrates the power of time. This film is about the grieving process and dealing with death. Jack The Madman (DAVID KETTER) wants revenge on John Parker (GABRIEL HOLZER) and is being ruined because of it. John Parker, on the other hand, accepts his fate, learns to let go and finds peace. At the beginning of the story, John Parker notices that his pocket watch has stopped. The time lady named Aiona (NADINE GROSINGER) explains to him the origins of his and a second pocket watch and demands their return. During an emotional moment he learns of the death of his brother Pete Parker (JOHANNES WEIKL). From this moment on, the five phases of dealing with grief begin. He goes through the stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Meanwhile, Jack The Madman uses the other pocket watch to jump back in time to 1979. There he asks the physicist Janna (STEPHANIE LEXER) to help him repair the watch that was damaged during the time jumps. He also took Pete Parker with him on this journey through time and has kept him prisoner since then, seriously injured. John Parker, still believing his brother is dead, manages to get his watch working again over the course of the story and also travels to 1979, where he has to face Jack the Madman and his act of revenge. Can John save his brother? Will he manage to fulfill Aiona's demand for the two pocket watches?
