5 Minutes to Midnight (2024)
On a New Year’s Eve filled with bittersweet emotions, Alex finds herself alone in her empty apartment, reflecting on her past relationship with Zac. Their love story, which flourished during a pandemic lockdown, eventually crumbled under the weight of unresolved issues. As the minutes to midnight slip away, Alex revisits memories of their joyful moments and the growing tensions that led to their breakup. Through flashbacks and introspection, she confronts her feelings of blame and longing, realising the need for forgiveness and personal growth.
