A gentle, allegorical fantasy that feels like a warm fable with a creeping sense of loss and a hopeful heart.

But when a powerful international corporation starts stealing everybody’s time, nobody has any time left for her, let alone their friends or families. Momo, together with Master Hora, the custodian of time, are the only ones who can go up against the time thieves before all is lost forever.
