## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Dust swirls through cracked stone arches at twilight.  
Children vanish from courtyards, their laughter replaced by the tick of identical wristwatches.  
A girl in ragged clothes listens to snails; a man in a gray suit checks his pocket clock.  
Like a Teutonic *Alice* with a stopwatch, it sends bureaucratic goblins after childhood.

**Mood tags**: outsider, surreal
