A long night in a psychiatric hospital, in 1962. A forced pact between a nurse and a patient, in which the latter is subjected to inhumane practices. The Human Hourglass is a minimalistic portrayal of suspended time, shared loneliness, and the possibility of surviving alienation through a small revolution: caring for others.
