Synopsis
On April 9, 2005, in an unprecedented gesture of unity and tribute, millions of Poles turned off the lights in their homes. At the same time, an emotional energy of unprecedented potential was released. At that moment, any earthly miracle could have happened. "Three Minutes" is a story about people whose fates intertwine at a historic moment. The film is about "down-to-earth miracles", internal transformations under the influence of unusual events. It is a portrait of modern Poles, far from uncritical apologia, ... but ultimately optimistic and positive. The four stories that make up the film depict the intersecting fates of the Director, Teacher, Painter, Student, Father and Boy.
