(Narrator) How did we end up here?

The people had a good life. They could have been happy.

But they always wanted more.

And through their dissatisfaction and their greed

They brought them to life.

The Time Thieves.

Not too long ago in a faraway land

A girl named Momo lived in the ruins of an amphitheater.

A place that was built centuries ago,

to bring people together.

Don't ask me where she came from, nobody knew.

Not even she herself.

Her best friend became Beppo, the street sweeper.

Thanks, Beppo.

And soon she would meet a very strange turtle.

But one step at a time, right?

-(Automatic) Thank you for recycling. -You're welcome.

Oh, that looks delicious.

See you tomorrow! Thank you. See you tomorrow.

(she laughs softly)

(Narrator) We begin our story with Gino,

the tour guide and pizza delivery guy.

-(Frau) Hey, Gino! -Hey, Jenny.

-(Gino) Wow, you look great. -Oh, thank you, that's sweet of you.

See you later. Thanks.

(She squeals) Pizza!

-(cheerful laughter) -Hey, Mom.

-Hello, Gino. -(Man) Did you have a good day?

There are no bad days, Uncle Roman.

-(Roman) Did anyone book your tour? -Nope, I was a pizza delivery guy today.

-(squeals) Maria! -Hey, Gino.

Understood?

-Gino! -Paolo!

Couchbombe!

(he whistles)

(Paolo) Tikki hasn't sung in a long time, you know that.

(serene music)

(Bell chimes)

(Gino) Fun Fact: They stand exactly where the lions once ate their food.

All the stones from which the theatre was built,

They come from the quarry.

(interested murmuring)

(delicate, mysterious music)

(cheerful, romantic piano music)

Hello?

Hello? Is anyone home?

(Momo) Hello.

I am Gino.

-Momo. -Beautiful name.

-Who called you that? -Well, I did.

Really, you yourself?

Do you like eating pizza?

And a story about the moon being a mirror,

who shows a princess in a castle pictures of the earth.

Because she's trapped in the castle. I have thousands of ideas.

And one day they'll make me famous.

Maybe I'll build my audience with a podcast.

Imagine that, a poet who earns money.

(Maria) Who are you?

Guys, this is my girlfriend Momo.

-Oh, hello. -Where did you suddenly come from?

As far as I remember, I've always been here.

-(Paolo) She's weird. -(Maria) I like her.

You'll like this, Momo.

(Paolo) I'm going to win.

-(Rummaging, clanging) -Not again.

-Don't worry, I'll fix it. -It's time for a new refrigerator.

-(Gino) We can't afford it. -We have to sell a lot of pizzas.

(Gino) Maybe I'll become famous.

(cheerful chirping)

(Tikki continues to tweet)

(gentle, harmonious music)

(Mother) What did you do?

Tikki hasn't sung in years.

I simply listened.

(Narrator) And she was good at it.

She listened with love and understanding.

And because she did that, she brought people together.

It started with those closest to her.

-I'll keep order here. -Like the Mafia?

With a broom.

And soon the word got around.

Whenever someone had a problem, people would say, "Go see Momo."

Hello.

She listened in a way that made people open up.

Not just towards her. They opened up to each other.

As more and more people sought her out,

Something extraordinary happened.

People began to gather again in the amphitheater.

(gentle, harmonious music)

She listened to times gone by.

(Laughter)

The sounds of the city.

She listened to the wind in the trees.

And she had the feeling that the whole universe was giving a concert.

Just for her.

(Impressive, magical music)

(Music fades out quietly)

(Mother) Oh no. Damn it.

-Hey, Mama. -Hey, Gino.

-(short clinking sound) -Everything okay, Mom?

Everything's fine, Gino.

Oh, just...

You grow up so fast.

And I want to spend as much time with you as possible.

Maybe we'll take a cool trip.

After your dad died, we still had so many plans.

But there's no chance of implementing them.

I don't want to wake up one day and realize that time has passed.

(Seagulls cry)

(calm, mysterious music)

I wanted to stop doing it, but I can't live without it.

-There are worse vices. -(laughing) Yes.

Like waking up one day and realizing,

that time has simply flown by.

Fancy a coffee?

Everyone is doing what they have to do.

so that they no longer do what they enjoy doing.

-As if they were trapped in a ... -hamster wheel.

I did some calculations. Simple math.

I'll show you. An hour has 60 minutes.

That's 3600 seconds. Multiplied by 24.

That amounts to 86,400 seconds per day.

Times 365

This results in 31,536,000 seconds per year.

Oh wow, you're good at math.

You're 42, right?

Well, everyone says I look about 35 or so.

So you have been alive for approximately 1,324,512,000 seconds.

Now I feel old.

-You sleep eight hours a day? -Mhm.

Multiply that by 42... and you get 441,504,000.

They work eight hours, eat for two hours,

That makes 110,376,000 in 42 years.

Two evenings with the children, conversations with customers, the mother-in-law,

This totals 165,564,000.

They swim for 15 minutes every morning, they love it,

But we still have to subtract that, 13,797,000.

And this is what you have used so far.

Nothing remains.

Oh.

What if it were possible to save time?

To put them aside and use them later for things you want to do?

Things you love. If you can do magic, great.

I can't. But I have the technology.

That's a greyclet.

The chip inside serves to

to record your habits and all that

and changes you make.

When you become more efficient and save time, it glows white.

You can then spend your time with your children.

If you waste time

and when you need to dip into your savings, it lights up red.

Who wouldn't want to save time?

Here.

-No, I cannot accept that. -Please.

I'll get a new one on my way home . Here.

Trust me.

It will change your life.

(Maria, echoing) Now listen. Yes! I'm coming out.

(Sure) Mom, it's your turn.

What? Oh, sorry.

Um... Yes.

-Yeah! -Haha!

-That's totally unfair. -And I'm in.

-Is that it? -Continue playing.

-Revenge! -I'm leaving you alone.

One more round. But...

(Siblings talking in the background)

-What did I say? -A six!

(Momo) Who orders so many pizzas?

These are for the new Grey store.

(Momo) A lot of pizza. Your mom will be happy.

(Female voice) We present Grey. The era of time efficiency has arrived.

You can finally reach the full potential of your life.

Grey is already available in over 1000 stores worldwide.

Get your Greyclet and start saving today.

-For a better future. -My mom has one like that.

I used to waste time.

I watched a game or read trivial books.

Since I got my Greyclet, I use my time efficiently.

And save them for the future, thank you, Greyclet.

I was constantly late.

Since I started wearing my Greyclet, I'm always there before everyone else.

Danke, Greyclet.

Thanks to the time covered

I was able to have a fantastic holiday with my family .

The best way to get to know your children.

Danke, Greyclet.

(Female voice) Save time to enjoy it later.

(Seagulls cry)

-(Beppo) Where is everyone? -(Gino) That's crazy.

I'm just getting started, and nobody is booking a tour.

-(Momo) It's because of these bracelets. -Maybe. Or everyone's too busy.

We're organizing a party.

(gentle, cheerful music)

-Want to come to our party? -We'll come.

-Hey. -Thank you very much.

-Hey, come to our party. -Thanks.

-There's a party tonight. -Look.

-Come to our party today. -Oh, thank you.

-Oh, hello, Momo. -Hey.

-The kids are out. -I'll visit you.

I've been keeping a very low profile lately. There's not much time left for personal matters.

People don't have the patience to wait for a table.

That's good for me, because I can squeeze in more guests per hour.

-So everyone wins. -What does everyone win?

Me too...

I am... I'm not ready yet.

I need to be better organized. That's something I need to work on.

Why are you wearing that?

Oh, that. It helps me.

To be more efficient.

And... to have fun again, sometime.

You can have it today.

(Lively music) - Hey. Hey.

You managed.

-How are you? -I'm doing great.

So much going on.

(more lively music)

(eerie music)

Hey, you. I'm your new girlfriend.

Can we talk for a moment?

(Momo breathes a sigh of alarm)

You'll never be bored with me.

I never scold, I never contradict,

I will always be by your side.

I'll help you get organized. Including with your homework.

You will be extremely successful.

Congratulations. I've been assigned to you.

I am now your best friend.

State-of-the-art technology.

(uncomfortable music)

My people invented it.

This is Bibi-Bot,

the ultimate Buddy.

Designed to entertain you around the clock.

You will never need other friends again.

How am I supposed to be friends with a machine ?

You don't want me? But I'm really great.

-I'm sorry. -It's okay.

I will wait.

What do you want to do with your life?

What do you mean by that?

Well, if you're hanging out with friends, what's the point?

But that's the best part of the day.

-Don't you meet up with friends? -(laughs)

No.

Do you think that will make her life better?

Your friends will manage just fine without you.

Was ...

Doesn't anyone love you?

Dear.

Love is unimportant. Friends are unimportant.

The most valuable thing on this planet is time.

But people waste them.

From the day you are born

Your time is slowly running out, inevitably.

And one day, there will be nothing left.

Everyone has a last hour, a last minute,

one last second.

We just need to point this out,

then it's child's play to convince people,

To save time and leave it to us.

Without asking any questions. But the truth is:

We take them from them and use them ourselves.

So you are thieves and you are stealing our time.

Yes.

That's one way to put it.

They...

What have you done?

Why did I tell you that? Forget everything I've told you.

You won't tell anyone this!

If you try it, everyone will think you're crazy. I'll wipe you out!

(Beppo) I have never, not even,

not even a single millisecond was taken away from anyone.

-Why would they do something like that? -Yes.

I know. You spend time at work and earn money.

With the money you buy art and jewelry that thieves want to steal.

Stealing someone's time is the most outrageous coup of the century.

I don't understand how one steals time.

Schools do that too.

Thieves never return what they steal. We need to tell everyone.

But who knows what they'll do to us then?

Who knows what they'll do if we don't stop them.

If they steal our time, people, unite and fight back today!

If someone steals our time, folks, what can we do?

(All) Unite and fight back!

(Gino) Everyone should hear you!

If someone steals our time,

What can we do?

Unite and fight back today!

(Gino) If someone steals our time, what can we do?

Hurry and fight back today!

They notice us. We attract attention.

If someone steals our time, folks, what can we do?

(All) Unite and fight back today!

-(Gino) We'll put a stop to their activities! -(all) Until the time returns!

(Woman) Wow, you guys are amazing.

Absolutely! I'm a huge fan of your energy.

-Totally cool. -Hello, kids. Let's be friends.

-Wow, a friend who can float! -Who wants to play?

(Gino) Look, Momo. We're famous!

If someone steals our time, folks, what can we do?

(All) Unite and fight back!

Gino?

Total megastar vibes.

(heroic music)

You work here? - Summer job. It's the "place to be".

Ah.

Listen, a guy from the team thinks you come across as really cool.

It can give you a wide reach.

-Introduce you to important people. -What do you mean by that?

Chat with each other, exchange some ideas.

-(Gino) I don't mean to be rude. -Take a look at it.

If you work here, we'll spend a lot of time together.

-I've always admired you. -And what exactly is he doing there?

Momo, I'll just take a quick look, okay?

You're holding the line. You're doing great. What about later?

I'll come, I promise.

(Woman) Guys, what you're doing here is really cool.

Therefore, each of you will receive a Bibi-Bot for free!

(below) Oh yeah!

-One for my sister too. -One for my brother!

But they're stealing your time. That's a trick!

Guys, believe me.

You have to believe me.

(sad string music)

What am I supposed to do now, Beppo? It's getting worse and worse.

Look at this mess.

How am I ever going to get that clean again?

Sometimes you have a very long road ahead of you.

So terribly long that it seems impossible to you,

to ever be able to sweep them clean.

So you start to hurry. You move on.

Faster and faster.

But every time you look up, you see

that the road will not get any shorter.

So you try even harder, and even harder.

(he gasps)

You get scared.

In the end, you can't breathe.

Nothing works anymore.

And the road still stretches out in its entirety in front of you.

Now I'll tell you a secret.

You must never think of the whole street.

Always think about the next step.

The next breath.

The next stroke of the broom.

And always just the next one.

Suddenly you realize that step by step,

Piece by piece,

You made it the whole street.

And you don't even know how anymore.

-I have to go to my other job. -(Momo) You work too much.

-I'm worried. -(Beppo) Work knows no tiredness.

(Workers call out to each other)

(he groans)

(he groans)

(He sighs and blows out)

(He is breathing heavily)

(Female voice) Agent BLW553C, appear before the court.

(imposing, eerie music)

(calm, somber music)

It is an honor to finally meet you , sir.

Believe me, the honor is all mine.

I heard that you

are one of our most successful recruiters.

-That could be. -Ah!

Please, don't be so shy. You are a role model for everyone here.

-Thank you. -Are you not feeling well?

Yes. Everything's fine.

Shall we sit down?

Please.

May I ask for your advice regarding today's events?

Hordes of children march through the streets,

We'll spill our secrets!

as if it were a game.

Ha! Now that's what I call a spectacle.

-What can we do? -Unite and fight back!

What can we do about it, in your opinion?

Given your wealth of experience , I would be grateful if you could help me.

I assume you've already encountered them?

I can't say, I've spent all day recruiting today.

(Female voice) Playback on number Alpha 437.

(Momo) So you are thieves and you are stealing our time?

Yes. That's one way to put it.

This girl.

Momo, she... she is...

dangerous.

She gets people talking, and you forget about time.

So you wanted to counteract that, didn't you?

That's good. Great idea. We like it. You're taking the initiative.

But the problem with improvising is,

that you never know what the outcome will be.

And what do we have here because of that?

Regulate.

Laws.

-But most importantly... -This daydreamer has bewitched me.

We must never reveal the true reason for our existence.

She is not like normal children.

-Our rules don't apply to them. -Yes, they do.

And they apply to you too.

As I said, you are a role model for all of us.

They leave me no other choice,

than to propose the following to the court:

Agentin BLW553C

He is to be found guilty of high treason .

-Objection! -And the penalty is:

Complete deprivation of any remaining personal time.

No!

(she whimpers)

Give me the time inhaler.

Please don't!

No, I'm cheating...

Just give me one...

No no!

(Sobbing in a panic) No... No...

(dramatic music)

This girl...

You will lose!

The young ...

I'll take care of him.

That girl must be eliminated.

Invite him to the villa.

-Come on! -(Beppo) Oh no. Momo!

Oh no, no, no. Momo!

Hey, Beppo, this is Gino.

Could you tell Momo, "I'm sorry, but I'm going to be late"? Thank you.

(Passerby) It has to go immediately, right now.

(Passerby 2) As quickly as possible. I want it tomorrow.

(Woman) Have fun.

Hi, welcome.

-Member or guest? -Guest.

-Tell me your name? -Um... Gino.

Okay, Gino...

Gino ...

Unfortunately, your name is not on the list.

Are you sure? I'm supposed to meet my friend Jenny here.

-She said... -He belongs to me.

John Richter.

You must be Gino.

Nice to meet you.

My people told me about your ideas.

I think your stories are fantastic,

just as you unleash the imagination of your listeners.

The world is one vast story, and we are merely characters in it.

Exactly.

Being a tour guide is like the first level.

We need a larger audience.

Gino. We will build an empire around you .

-An empire? -An empire.

Because you and I together can reach a lot of people.

Look inside.

Tiny personal assistants,

which are built into the contact lenses.

With Contacts you are no longer just a tour guide,

but a ... life guide.

And you're starting tonight.

Tonight?

I wanted to meet a friend tonight .

So tomorrow would also work?

And he's also a comedian.

Make a wise choice.

(Jenny) Gino?

(she startles)

Hello.

What are you looking for here?

A turtle that can spell?

Are you for real?

Ah!

"Real enough".

I can't. I'm waiting for my friend Gino.

He'll be here soon.

"Not coming"?

(mysterious music)

Where are we going?

“West.” Hm.

You seem to have a good sense of direction.

(Agent) Over here! We've found something!

-She must be here somewhere. -(Agent) She's not here!

(dramatic music)

(Momo) What's your name?

Kass. That's a very nice name.

Cassiopeia. I think you need a bigger shell.

Or a shorter name.

(Agent) Surrounds the marketplace.

(Woman's voice) Empty. (Man's voice) There's nothing here!

"Duck down"?

Are we hiding?

(Agent) Come on, let's go!

Stop. Say it quietly.

(Momo) Do you even know where we're going?

(exciting music)

(Honks)

Watch out, turtle!

(Agent) She can't be far.

There she is!

(adventurous music)

“Ten”, “nine”, “eight” ...

(Agent) Where is she? Find her!

(Calls from the agents)

(Agent) There she is.

(tension-filled music)

(Music ends)

Disappeared.

She simply disappeared.

Do you think he'll help her?

"Never Lane".

(Door creaks)

Are you here? Are you here? Yes, indeed.

(he laughs)

-Finally! -Were you expecting me?

Sure. I sent Cassiopeia to you.

(Stuttering) Great that you made it.

It's difficult, but necessary. Not everyone should be allowed into the Nowhere House.

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hora. Master Sekundus Minutius Hora.

-I am Momo. -I know that.

-And where from? -Because I measured it.

Momo, that's a stellar hour clock.

She is able to

to indicate certain special moments.

If all beings and things

cooperate all the way up to the stars ,

Let's call that a momentous occasion.

If someone is born who can listen to the cosmos,

Then important things happen.

You are hungry.

(Screaming)

Hello, you mice.

I just wanted to say goodnight to you all.

-Wait, what? -Otherwise you'll cover us up.

-Hello, Gino. -Hello.

What is that?

A robot that films me and sends the footage to people's contact lenses.

They are watching me through their lenses

I'll tell you some of my fun facts,

And that changes her life, bye.

(Doorbell) -Uh... Good night.

(multiple rings)

(Knock)

-Beppo. -Hello. Is Gino there?

-It's urgent. -Yes, he's upstairs.

Beppo, Momo could also have gone for a walk.

A company that sells lifestyle products does not kidnap children.

20 seconds until the show. You have to go.

Off with the pajamas, bottles off the table, chop, chop.

I'm going live in 15 seconds. My chance.

Everyone is coming home from work. Right now.

Gino, we're going live in ten seconds.

"We have to go to the police station." "Out."

-Voice message from Jenny. -(Jenny) I'm proud of you.

Beppo, please, we'll talk tomorrow.

-She'll be back by then. -No, Gino.

-Gno ... -Gno, you're right.

-Gino ... -We're live in three, two, one ...

Welcome to Gino's Fun Facts.

Excuse me? You're saying your girlfriend has been kidnapped by time thieves?

-Yes. -(Policeman laughs)

My girlfriend is in grave danger.

They have unnaturally grey eyes and can cause people to disintegrate into...

red dust.

-Yes. -(Policewoman) Sorry, I'll take over.

Come.

So, who else did you tell about it?

-Nobody. -Are you sure?

(dark sound)

I can't let you run around talking nonsense.

What did you do with Momo?

-Do you want to see her again? -Yes.

Wear this. Start saving.

For you.

Why did you bring me here?

To save you.

-To save me? -Here.

Would you ...

(quiet ticking)

You are the one they are looking for.

-Why? -You've discovered the truth.

-They must eliminate you. -Eliminate me?

-I didn't do anything. -You told your friends.

You even announced it in the city. And now they fear you.

(Hora) Oh no, him.

He is the leader of these grey creatures.

Does he know you?

Of course he knows me. I am the guardian of time.

-Are these people? -Their appearance is just camouflage.

And strictly speaking... they are nothing.

They only exist because people have allowed it.

that their most valuable possession is stolen.

Which means that all color disappears from her life.

Restless, plagued by worries.

Incapable of enjoying anything.

Constantly stressed, yet somehow always bored.

They could have easily gotten their hands on me.

Cassiopeia, is that true?

(He laughs) She's got a clever trick up her sleeve.

She can see into the future. Not far, half an hour.

But it's enough to know who will be where and when.

You were my protector the whole time .

(Hora) She is a very special turtle.

What happens when the Greys no longer steal time ?

They would vanish into thin air. That's where they came from.

I'll tell you a secret.

All the time in the world...

comes from here, from the Nowhere House in Never Street.

-And you make the time? -No, I'm just its keeper.

Everyone is assigned a time period.

I'm the one who makes sure it reaches everyone.

What they do with it is up to them.

Would you like to see where time comes from?

(Gino's mother) And to have fun again, sometime.

(Maria) I don't understand how one steals time.

-(Paolo) The school does that too. -(everyone) Unite and fight back!

(Hora) This is the pendulum of time, Momo.

Wherever it swings, a new hour-flower blooms.

(soft music)

(Momo) I've seen these petals before.

(Hora) Yes. They carry time from here out into the world.

(Momo) That is beautiful.

(Hora) Don't stay too long. Time flows differently here.

(magical string music)

(dark echo)

(uncomfortable music)

Beppo?

(uncomfortable music becomes more powerful)

Beppo!

Don't waste your time traveling.

Travel virtually.

With Contacts. Read messages while watching a movie.

Watch a series while you wait.

Play while you visit your mother.

Never waste another second.

Work anywhere, anytime. With Contacts.

Who needs friends when there's Bibi-Bot?

A friend who always agrees with you.

-Wrong side. -(Man) Move along.

(Woman) Why isn't there room here? There's never room.

(exciting music)

Work anywhere, anytime. With Contacts.

-(Woman) Faster. -(Man) Get in line.

Gino.

(Momo gasps)

-Liliana. -Type.

-Are you okay? -Where are Gino and the others?

-See you later, Uncle Roman! -How long have I been gone?

A whole year, Momo.

The children go to a boarding school.

This way I can save a lot of time so we can treat ourselves to a trip.

This might sound strange,

But save time to spend it, you understand?

And Gino?

Where is he?

Oh, we hardly ever see him anymore. But that's just the way it is.

We can see him on the screen whenever we want. He is successful.

(She breathes deeply and hesitantly)

Momo, please, I...

I have no time.

(She breathes in alarm)

(she sobs softly)

Um, contacts.

Um... Can I speak to the manager of my time savings account?

-(Woman) How can we help? -Um...

I would like to set aside some time.

I would like to travel with my family.

Please wait. Estimated waiting time:

4 hours and 36 minutes.

Your call is very important to us. Please stay on the line.

Estimated waiting time: 4 hours and 34 minutes.

Contacts, hang up immediately.

Do you also look at the world and wonder what has happened?

How can I keep up?

Turn it on. With Grey Corporation Contacts.

Who's ready for my fun facts? Join me.

I'll show you how to get the most out of your life.

(Woman) Be one of Gino's 150 million friends

and let them explain to you how you should live your life.

Turn it on. With Contacts.

Mary! Paul!

Mary! Paul!

-Where have you been? -Momo, it's so nice to see you!

-Could you step outside for a moment? -We're not allowed to.

-We are preparing for the competition. -Algorithms and logarithms.

And how to calculate the square root of Pi.

-Why? -Honestly, I have no idea.

We don't know what we're doing here. We're just sheep. Baa, baa.

(Teacher) Who are you?

-I need Gino's help. -Why aren't you at school?

Hey, Contacts. Identified this girl.

I need to know where he is.

-Don't talk to that girl! -(Paolo) No, let me go!

Gino owns the Ocean Front Club. You'll find him there.

-(Siren wails) -(Tires squeal)

(turbulent music)

(Music becomes more impressive)

(Music ends)

-(Buzzing) -(Female voice) Welcome, Gino.

Activate autonomous driving to the event location.

Remember to go through the show intro.

Gino!

Type?

(emotional music)

I missed you.

Now I'm here.

Do you know that I searched for you every day for weeks?

-Your eyes. -Oh yes, I wear them all the time.

It's easier for the job.

"Fun Fact Tours. Optimize your life."

I now have 150 million friends, Momo.

I don't make up the stories anymore.

An entire team of authors does this for me.

The writing team would like to hear a sample reading of the show's intro.

How about you give me a break?

The truth is,

I haven't been able to think of anything original for ages .

Gino, do you remember what you said?

This is the most outrageous heist of the century.

Look at me.

Tell your listeners they must not waste their time.

Time does not exist in their clocks.

But in their hearts.

You're the only one who can do it.

Momo, stay with me.

I need you. You are my best friend.

(Frau) Gino?

It's your turn next.

Hello, Momo. So here you are.

Oh my God. Did you see what they're offering you?

Oh, okay. Oh, wow. That's next-level good.

-(Jenny) That's amazing. -Gino, that'll blow you away.

I don't know.

I think maybe I should...

I'd rather do it again...

develop your own ideas.

You're funny.

That's exactly what you've always wanted.

I'm so proud of you.

(Female voice) Grey presents, live on stage:

The guide to your life, Gino!

(Applause, Cheers)

(casual music)

(Gino) I have today

I learned something from an old friend.

that concerns all of you.

(Judge) Gino, be careful now.

Not just for your sake, but for the sake of your family too.

Remember little Mary

and to Paolo.

Grey Corporation told me today,

that she will extend my contract.

Because that's what best friends do for each other!

(sad music)

Master Hora!

Cassiopeia!

Cassiopeia, where are you?

Master Hora!

(Gino) Do you also look at the world and wonder what has happened?

How can I keep up?

Together with my 150 million friends worldwide

and me.

Switch on with Grey Corporation Contacts.

(Woman) The friend who always agrees.

(sad music)

Bibi-Bot. The only friend you need.

You can't do this to us. I won't allow it!

The era of time efficiency...

If someone steals our time, folks, what can we do?

(Woman) Faster.

Unite and fight back today!

If someone steals our time...

(tragic music)

Hello, here I am!

I'm not afraid of you anymore!

You know where to find me!

(dark music)

Come on, show yourselves!

(Music ends)

How are you doing?

You look tired.

Shall we sit down? Let's do that.

I want my friends back.

It's funny how similar we are.

We don't agree. You make people sick and lonely.

I'm not doing anything. Everyone can decide for themselves.

Your friend Gino didn't hesitate for a second,

to work for us.

This horrible loneliness.

You have no one to talk to, no one to listen to.

It must be like torture.

What do you want from me?

It's nice that you asked. I'll tell you.

We're fed up with these undisciplined people.

to gather together the hours and days.

It would be far more efficient to harvest time at its source.

And you,

You know exactly where to find her.

-Master Hora. -Introduce us to each other.

And none of your friends will have to save any more time for us.

You can have them all back.

No.

I had hoped I could reunite you and your friends.

Unfortunately

You'll probably never see her again.

Cassiopeia.

We need to get out of here.

(dark music)

(she screams)

(imposing, threatening music)

-Meister Hora! -Momo.

-They have dissolved. -They can't harm you here.

You can't get in here.

Time simply runs backwards here in Niemalsgasse.

The Greys...

They consist entirely of time, love, so it's like...

Air escaping from a burst balloon, brrr.

If time ran backward everywhere, it would destroy the horrors.

Good idea, but no.

The backward flow of time only works here.

Master Hora. Can you simply stop time?

-She's never done that before. -Is it possible?

Theoretically, yes. Time would stand still if I...

-... sleep. -You've never slept before?

When you wake up, does time start flowing again?

That's where the danger lies. If time stands still, everything else stands still.

Even my watches. Nothing could wake me up.

The world would be frozen forever.

-There must be something. -Hm.

Naturally.

Naturally!

The flower! That's it.

When time stops flowing,

Nevertheless, a single hour-flower will still bloom.

The one who holds them in his hands,

can move freely, but only for exactly one hour.

-And in this hour... -The Greys cannot steal any time.

They must be prevented from accessing their reserves.

-And how? -I don't know.

But that person would have to follow them.

and find out where they keep the time.

As soon as you find them, touch them,

That sets time in motion again and wakes me up.

This puts you in grave danger.

It's our only chance.

As soon as time stops,

This is the only hour you have left.

It is absolutely essential that you use the stolen time

you release it back into the world, before it withers.

You have 60 minutes until the flower wilts.

You must always wear them on your body.

Otherwise you too, Momo,

to be frozen forever.

The world is counting on you. Be brave.

(Judge) Time flows backwards. That's regrettable.

Gut.

Let's see if this sleeping

It's such a smash hit, as everyone says.

(multiple ticking sounds)

(exciting music)

(Music and ticking end)

Seems safe.

Let's go inside.

(quiet, threatening music)

Oh no.

(Judge) He spreads out and finds Hora. And the girl.

Master Hora!

You can come out now.

Don't be so shy.

(exciting music)

He stopped time.

Do you see?

Nothing is moving anymore. Empty.

This capricious, ridiculous man has cut off the supplies.

I can't open it.

-Learn. -Sarge.

How much time is left in your grey flow?

(Agent) Seven minutes, why?

Come here, love, let's see.

Just for a very short time.

We need to get to our safe. Quickly.

(quietly) Okay.

(driving music)

Out of the way!

File.

(continuing driving music)

File.

Hey! The flower. Give me the flower!

Hey!

Hey!

Give them to me.

Please. Let go.

Beppo.

(delicate, sad music)

I'm so sorry, Beppo.

It was all my idea. Forgive me.

Oh no.

Stay calm.

One step at a time.

See you later, Beppo.

Oh no.

(quiet, distant voices)

Whoa!

(Judge) I would like to say to each and every one of you

I would like to express my deep gratitude.

Your dedication and hard work were the cornerstones of our success.

Thank you for that. Empty.

What luck!

that the safe door was open,

when Master Hora froze time to starve us.

This gives us access to our reserves.

Nevertheless, there are many of us,

and our savings are limited.

To ensure our survival, we will therefore...

-Empty. -... to play a game.

The even numbers

are now grabbing their neighbor's remaining time.

-Learn. -Learn.

File.

Move up.

For those who remain, the supplies will last for a very long time.

They can still get to the petals and outlive me.

-Empty. -“Door closed”.

But... the door is frozen shut.

"Take flower".

-Empty. -Now you can get your supply.

File.

(Agent) Guys, one sheet each. Blank.

Nice and slow.

-Learn. -Learn.

(exciting music)

File.

Each person only gets one leaf.

(Judge) Enough, that should be sufficient.

Afterwards!

We need the flower to open the door!

(Agent) Don't let her escape! We need the flower.

Grab them!

(driving music)

She must not escape!

Come here.

(Momo groans)

(Agent) Find her!

(driving music)

(Agent groans)

-(she screams) -That's it.

Come on. Give them to me.

-No, no, no, oh! -(Momo shrieks)

(she screams)

(breathes with a wheezing sound)

(imposing, threatening music)

File.

It seems like neither of us has any time left.

The last petal.

The last minute of this world.

Give it to me.

Every person you love,

So all your friends, none of them ever wake up again,

And it's entirely your fault.

-Give it to me. -Empty.

Stupid thing.

No, no. That's too early.

No.

-Empty. -No.

No.

You made me forget about time.

Give me the petal.

Please, give it to me.

-I deserve it. -No, you don't.

Please.

(Impressive, hopeful music)

(harmonic music)

(powerful, harmonious music)

(Music becomes softer)

(Narrator) And thanks to Momo, time returned.

back to everyone and everything.

Ah!

Nobody had noticed that the world had stood still for an hour.

For the people, all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

But still, something had changed.

People suddenly knew deep in their hearts,

that their time on our Earth is simply and plainly

is immeasurably precious.

Goodbye.

I will never forget you, Cassiopeia.

Yes.

I'm already getting up, I promise.

Oh, but sleep...

(he giggles)

That's amazing.

(powerful, joyful music)

-Momo! -Beppo!

-Liliana! -Momo!

-(Maria) Momo! -(Paolo) Momo!

Hey! Paolo.

I am so sorry.

That's okay.

There's quite a lot going on.

There's supposed to be a good tour guide here .

Maybe someday.

Take your time.

(Maria) Gino, here you are.

(soft music)

(Narrator) How you use this time,

whether the next day, in the next hour

or in the next five minutes,

Well, that's entirely your decision.

But please

Enjoy them.

We only have now.
