Desperate not to lose custody, a mixed martial arts fighter makes dangerous enemies when he ditches a matchup to race to his daughter's birthday party.
New to Netflix from today is the German action thriller, Sixty Minutes (aka 60 Minuten). The movie – directed and co-written by Oliver Kienle – stars Emilio Sakraya, Dennis Mojen, and Marie Mouroum, and tells the story of a father who faces various challenges while desperately attempting to reach his ex-partner’s house to celebrate his daughter’s birthday.
In the movie, Octavio Bergmann is a mixed martial arts fighter who is scheduled to compete in a three-round match. However, on the day of the fight he promises his daughter, Leonie, he will be with her to celebrate her birthday.
Octavio is determined to keep his promise to Leonie, and has a card, a cake, and a present lined up for her. But he’s already running behind schedule, and it appears he’ll be a couple of hours later than planned – if he makes it at all.
Just as he is about to walk out to the ring to take part in his fight, he receives a call from his ex-partner, Leonie’s mother, informing him he has exactly one hour to arrive. If he doesn’t turn up at the house by 6pm, she will file for complete custody and he won’t be able to see his daughter again.
Stressed and concerned about what will happen if he doesn’t show up in time, Octavio walks away from the fight and attempts to journey across town to see Leonie. But backing out of the match creates some very nasty enemies, who will do everything they can to find him and take him back to the ring to ensure he competes
