"Tic Tac" [Tick Tock] by Rosa Vergés

It’s Christmas, and Hèctor, a very curious boy, is travelling to France with his parents. During the journey, he gets off at a station with no name where there’s a letterbox, to send his letter to the Three Kings, but the train leaves without him. There, he meets a brother and sister, Bibu and Olívia, who show him that time is alive. With the help of the Sun and the Moon, the children manage to wind back time so that Hèctor can get back to his parents.

With great imagination, some fabulous musical scenes (which won her a Goya nomination for the Best Original Score) and her very theatrical artistic direction, Rosa Vergés takes us into a wonderful world inside clocks and their different rhythms.
