Into a seedy room, there is a gold-plated watch. It is decorated with the small statues of a satyr, an angel and two couples of lovers. The engine driver lives and works in the clockwork. He’s a lonely person who works hard until a silver woman appears from a bright loophole. They fall in love at first sight, they dance, until they melt together, changing the material of the clock, which becomes a perfect union of silver and gold. The angel exults in glory and time stops.
