In this feature-length documentary, three researchers from the National Research Council of Canada attempt to measure time. With obsessive precision, their "cesium fountain" will one day beat at the rate of 9 billion times per second! An obsession matched only by the passion of a modest watchmaker named Marc Ferland. A true artist who is moved by the simple idea of ​​making his dream come true: to make "a" watch. The most beautiful one there is and for the beauty of the gesture alone.
