El Hombre de los mil relojes
From 6 To 12 Years Old. A man is so fascinated by clocks that his house is full of them and he even has his own factory to build them to his liking. But he is not happy, because he lives alone in his mansion and has not been able to find a cuckoo bird for his masterpiece, a living clock. Nearby, in a cozy little house, live two girls with their parents and a dog they adore. One day the dog goes missing and the man of a thousand clocks participates in the search, on the condition that they help him, in turn, to find the bird for his watch. A series of adventures begins during which, together with the girls, the man discovers the value of friendship, solidarity, courage and joint effort.
