    The Journey on the Hour Hand is set in a landscape out of time, where cause and effect can be disconnected and time itself has paused,...( read more) or is in replay. Organized like a mystery story, the film focuses on a clock mender named Kerem who sets out on a journey to find a distant clock tower in need of repair. According to Kavur, Kerem is a vagabond who "returns the way Ulysses does." But there is much more going on in this tale, including the cyclical actions of its protagonists, who revisit each other and themselves. As Kavur notes, "Our traditional story telling resembles Latin American literature; it has metaphysical, mystical, and surrealistic elements that throw a veil over the story?the truth is hidden behind."
