20 MINUTES TO LIFE is about Olivia, an elementary school “good kid” who has her very first detention. She imagines it as a prison, complete with guards, barred windows, and a prison warden. Once there, Olivia must befriend the “bad kids” and figure out how to solve 20,000 math problems in 20 minutes in order to escape.” Director Veronika Kurz on 20 MINUTES TO LIFE which screens in the Shortwork program at the Whistler Film Festival.
