An aging clockmaker repairs watches and recounts his memories as a political prisoner during the Romanian dictatorship. A film about routine, resilience and the echoes of time.

Below the surface, the alien is us. Filmed entirely underwater with natural light and ambient sound, MARE SAPIENS moves through the Bay of Marseille as a space where living forms, infrastructures, and machines coexist. The film assembles a sensory field without commentary or hierarchy, letting the sea appear not as background or resource, but as a milieu that absorbs, resists, and persists.
