    Film Summary (IMDB):
    Luca Venditto, a down-on-his-luck filmmaker drowning in student debt from film school, scrapes by working in a restaurant to make ends meet. One ordinary afternoon, while clearing tables, he encounters an unusual guest-a lawyer-looking man in a stark black suit, exuding an eerie presence. As Luca reaches for the plates, the man commands him to sit, calmly revealing that today is the day scheduled, or more commonly known as “destined”, for Luca to die. Threatening to suicide and thus disrupt the arrangement of destiny, Luca holds the the mysterious man (Personification of Death) at gunpoint, demanding a last chance to rewrite his story. Granted just five minutes, he races against time to confront his deepest regrets, from ruined career opportunities to broken relationships. But as the clock ticks down, he discovers that even the smallest slice of time can hold the key to redemption-or seal his fate forever.
