Le temps d'Anna (2016)

From 1917 to 1933, the love story of Jean, a watchmaking worker, and Anna, who comes from a noble family. Jean sets up his workshop and creates a wristwatch for his company, then invents the waterproof watch, while his wife descends into schizophrenia. “He who wishes to die or conquer is rarely defeated” is the recurring quotation that serves as a common thread; it is taken from Pierre Corneille’s play Horace.
