Auf der Suche nach der gestohlenen Zeit

Time is relative, as Einstein once said. This sense of relativity is particularly palpable in Friesach, Carinthia. There, a medieval castle is to be built in real time, without electricity, modern equipment or artificial light. It is just one of the many stages in Konrad Wakolbinger’s cinematic exploration of the influence and significance of time on today’s meritocracy. In his varied documentary, the Rohrbach-born filmmaker explores with curiosity, wit and depth how the economy and the world of work have functioned since the clock began to dictate our daily lives.
