Synopsis

Two neighbors have different ideas about wasting time and saving stuff. The ticking clock, and the art of recycling... who knew that hoarding could slow down time and conservation could reorganize it?

This delightfully quirky film examines the imbalance and waste created by the modern obsessions of time and stuff.

The term "second hand" refers to the ticking hand on a clock; it also describes reused items. Would you rather save time? Or save stuff?
