Fusing tender romantic comedy with dreamlike storytelling, Isabella Waldron’s The Watch is a contemporary love story that explores the delicate dance between time, intimacy, and identity.
When insomniac Hannah meets clockmaker Zoe, days blur into nights, reality gives way to desire, and love becomes both fleeting and infinite — unraveling a profound exploration of trust, timing, and the delicate art of letting someone in.
The Watch navigates the messy, tender, and transformative terrain of young queer love, capturing the fragility of time, the complexity of identity, and the beauty of human connection in all its imperfect forms.
