Time Will Tell
Our story takes place in the 18 century, in Europe. Three clockmakers are tasked with building a precise time instrument - metaphorically speaking, the future. Inspired by Lessing's "Nathan the Wise," the three contestants symbolise three civilisations segregated by tradition, culture, and religious ideology, where they must work to solve a puzzle and the fate of all hangs in the balance as how well they can cooperate.

In Apex, Womanhood Is More Dangerous Than the Wilderness
Netflix's new thriller Apex, starring Charlize Theron, puts a twist on survival horror.
