11 Minutes shows a very short moment from the lives of different characters representing a broad spectrum of contemporary society, the 11 minutes that would seal their fate and decide on their future. A jealous husband of an attractive actress who meets in a hotel room with a cocky and immoral Hollywood director, a drug runner driving through the city on his motorbike, a hot-dog seller and a group of hungry nuns... An intertwining of some unexpected events, all happening in the vibrant and lively capital of Poland, which could easily stand for any city in any part of our changing world.
The latest, long-awaited film from the acclaimed Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski (Essential Killing, Four Nights with Anna, Deep End), winner of the Golden Lion for the Lifetime Achievement at the 73rd Venice Film Festival.
