Edinburgh 1874. Jack is born on the coldest day in the world and his heart remains frozen. Doctor Madeleine saves him by replacing his defective heart with a mechanical clock. He will survive with this magic craft provided he respects 3 laws: first, don’t touch his needles, second, control his anger and, above all, never, ever fall in love. Her meeting with Miss Acacia, a little street singer, will precipitate the rhythm of her needles. Ready to do anything to find her, Jack launches himself like a Don Quixote in a love quest that will lead him from Scottish lochs in Paris to the gates of Andalusia.
