Seven Minutes

Out in the Israeli desert, the bus waits in front of the army barracks, its motor running. Yonash and Lionel's plans to spend the weekend off-base, seemingly shelved, have now been granted a last-minute reprieve. No time to waste, as they kick off dusty boots and jump into clean fatigues. They're only seven minutes away from their coveted leave and their loved ones. Camaraderie, personal desires and a brutal race in realtime to beat the clock. (Berlinale)
