A Victorian-era steampunk fantasy unfolds as young Jack navigates a life dictated by the ticking of a mechanical heart installed in his chest after a frigid birth. Sheltered by the ingenious midwife who saved him, Jack's existence is a careful balance – avoiding passion and excitement to prevent his clockwork organ from failing. This isn't a simple tale of overcoming physical limitation; it's a melancholic exploration of constrained desire, where the fear of feeling profoundly defines a formative existence and casts a shadow over the possibility of genuine connection. The film’s whimsical visual style belies a deeply felt loneliness and the desperate yearning for a normalcy forever beyond his grasp, portraying a tender, unusual romance that risks self-destruction with every beat.
