In the misty coastal town of Bainbridge Bay, elderly clockmaker Theodore Whitmore has spent five lonely years tending to his shop full of ticking timepieces, speaking only to his clocks since his wife's passing. When eight-year-old Emma Chen arrives with her grandmother's broken pocket watch, she brings more than just a repair job—she brings the gift of friendship and reminds Theodore that time is meant to be shared. Through warm dinners, quiet conversations, and a magical winter solstice festival, Theodore discovers that the most precious moments aren't measured by his carefully maintained clocks, but by the connections we make with the people who fill our days with meaning.
