Five Minutes

After being injured during a fight with a zombie, John (40) isn’t sure whether he is infected or not. In case of an infection the virus will take control over the body within five minutes. The first symptom is always the loss of memory. So there is a test: As long as John can remember there is no virus eating up his brain. He has to ensure that he isn’t changing, to keep his daughter Mia (17) save. The zombies on the doorstep and his nervous daughter next door, he starts to remember – holding a gun at his head.
