Synopsis

In 1818 Geneva, a skilled mechanic uses clockwork parts to bring his brother back from the dead. This act of reanimation sparks a local sensation, leading the citizens to wonder if they've inspired Mary Shelley's recently published novel, Frankenstein. The mechanic must navigate the consequences of his creation and the blurring lines between science and myth.
