A Relationship Rescue Mission Set Inside the Makings of an Apocalypse
Javier Ruiz Caldera's 5 More Minutes (5 Minutos Más) world-premieres in the San Sebastián Festival's main competition. Variety describes it as a time-warping drama that suggests one way an on-the-rocks relationship may come closer together again: by plunging the pair into the makings of a global apocalypse. Writer-star Berto Romero and Belen Cuesta star. A couple whose problem is each other, given a problem large enough to reorganize them — the time-warping part is what should decide whether that lands as a metaphor or a gimmick.
