The director who doesn’t want to make films and instead of using up the chance for international production, falls in love with his English teacher…The painter stucked in deadlock…The father who would like to protect son from his past… All their lots will meet during three minutes.
The title 21:37 refers to the authentic event after the death of the Pope John Paul II when the Poles in an unparalleled and unifying gesture turned off lights in their homes.
