One Minute

About This Movie

One Minute offers a raw glimpse into the human experience amidst the chaos of war. Set in Shujaiya during the 2014 Gaza conflict, the film centers on Salma, a mother who creates a fragile sanctuary in her home. The atmosphere is thick with tension; you can almost feel the weight of each text message as it foreshadows disaster. The pacing, almost hypnotic, reflects the mundane moments of survival while contrasting sharply with the ever-looming threat outside. It’s a stark portrayal of resilience and maternal instinct, with practical effects that underscore the reality of their situation. The performances are intimate, drawing you into their world and making you reflect on the fragility of safety in such dire circumstances.
