Time’s Up
Marie-Catherine Theiler, Jan Peters
»(…) is it even possible to lose or win time?«
– Marie-Catherine Theiler & Jan Peters
When pregnant film director Marie-Catherine Theiler and her boyfriend Jan Peters are involved in a car accident, they begin to realise how much they waste their time running hectically around. They decide to slow down their lives. They are just not sure how to go about this. Jan attends a time management course and Marie-Catherine, a slowingdown workshop. Together they meet time experts and ask precisely those questions that most of us would probably ask as well. With rapid edits, bright colours and ironic comments, Time‘s Up accompanies the couple on their insane search for lost time.
