"Tick Tock Time Emporium" is an Alice in Wonderland-esque short film - a present-day tale about Max, a young girl with a sweet smile and a penchant for petty thievery who develops an unlikely friendship with Jasper, the cantankerous owner of the Tick Tock Time Emporium, a sort of pawn shop where instead of used appliances and jewelry, they buy and sell time: Good Time, Alone Time, Family Time - you name it, they have it. When Max gets caught stealing some rare and expensive Time, she discovers that the value of time is determined not by how good it is, but who you spend it with.
