Two Minutes ｜ Award Winning Short Film ｜ British Comedy

Two brothers. One robbery. Their Nan.

After their grandfather’s death, two brothers plan a quick off licence heist. They have two minutes before the police arrive. Grab the cash. Get out.

Then their Nan shows up.

As the countdown ticks, she climbs into the getaway car for a chat. What starts as a tense robbery spirals into something far more emotional. With seconds to spare, the brothers confess the truth. They are stealing for her.

Two Minutes blends high stakes tension with sharp British humour and heart. It is a heist film powered by family, grief, and love in the worst possible timing.
