Under the dual pressure of scientific research and livelihood, theoretical physicist Shen Yu sent the discontinued pocket watch left by his mother to the "Time Restoration Bureau" in the antique street. The moment shop owner Lin Zhi touched the pocket watch, the second hand jumped backwards, and the memories and emotions sealed for ten years came flooding back. It turned out that this watch carried his mother's unfinished theory of time: emotions can distort time, and consciousness can resonate with the past.
As the two team up to "observe" the memory fragments in the pocket watch, abnormal phenomena occur frequently in the laboratory, and the truth gradually emerges: Shen's mother did not die of illness, but completed a tragic experiment with her life under academic pressure. Her obsession is being verified in the future through her pocket watch.
This is not about restoring antiques, but about completing a scientific dialogue that spans life and death. When the mother's last words to "live a good life" arrived through time and space, the second hand that had been idle for ten years finally jumped forward. Reason and empathy are intertwined, and the two heal each other while solving the mystery, and also open up a new time for them.
Intention: True scientific exploration will eventually return to the warmth of human nature; and unfinished obsessions can only rest in peace if they are understood and empathized with.
