The Keeper of Unfinished Clocks: A Story of Memory, Silence, and the Things We Cannot Let Go

In the fading industrial town of Siedlce, Poland, master horologist Ewa Kowalska has spent thirty years restoring broken pocket watches in her grandfather's attic workshop—listening to the stories each irregular tick reveals. When her estranged brother returns with demolition permits for the town's historic workers' quarter, Ewa discovers a 1927 watch containing twenty-three handwritten testimonies from families facing eviction. With only twenty-five days before demolition, she must choose between the silence that has protected her for decades and the risk of giving voice to memories others want erased. Armed with calloused hands and fragile timepieces, can one woman preserve what an entire town is ready to forget?
