Steiner

Director: Remo Pini

Year: 2027

The dramatic true story of an Austrian visionary, who against ridicule, controversy and attempts on his life, developed an intricate philosophy for the good of humanity based on his ability to research and perceive spiritual dimensions. In 1923, Central Europe is in social chaos created by the polarizing events of World War I. It proves one of the most tragic for Steiner, which includes the rise of nationalism and the seeds of hatred spawned by Adolf Hitler and his failed assassination attempt of Steiner. This is coupled with a hostile press, critical academics, the Pope’s decree banning Steiner’s organization and a Catholic priest who preaches openly each Sunday from the pulpit that Steiner and his society must be destroyed. Despite the enormous threats and surviving a poisoning attempt, Steiner, as a true holistic pioneer, develops new concepts of agriculture, architecture, the arts, science, medicine, social reform, education and many other areas. From the insight of one man, each concept has flourished and continues to do so globally to this day.

When Arlo arrives to find Marcus has cooked someone else’s favourite meal, a single question begins to unravel an evening that refuses to stay in the present. Through a fractured timeline set entirely within one dining room, we move between Marcus and Arlo and the relationship that came before, with Una, the woman he met at a late-night bus stop and once talked about marrying. The same table, the same chairs, the same arguments about trust, honesty and what it means to truly see someone. As the timelines bleed together, it becomes clear that Marcus has never fully left the past, and that Una’s ghost sits at every table he sets. When Arlo asks what her own favourite meal is and he cannot answer, the film’s quiet devastation lands completely. CLOCKS is a portrait of a man who loves generously but sees poorly, and the women who carry the cost. It asks what we owe the person in front of us while we are still in love with someone we lost, and whether a feeling ever truly ends.
