Blues Time refers to moments when life seems overwhelming and problems seem to have no solutions. Like a fragile heartbeat ticking to a weird rhythm, it appears as if everything is out of step. Fa, an eleven-year-old girl, is going through one of those moments as she runs desperately across the city streets clasping an old pocket watch. A present from her grandfather, the watch suddenly stops ticking at the exact moment the old man is taken to hospital due to a serious illness. Guided by her naiveté, Fa goes on a quest to fix the watch, thinking it will save her grandfather's life.
