Eleven Minutes follows the journey of Maria, a young girl from a Brazilian village whose early experiences with love leave her heartbroken. She becomes convinced that true love is elusive and will only bring suffering. A fateful encounter in Rio leads her to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune.
In Geneva, Maria’s beliefs about love are tested when she meets a charming young painter. This becomes a voyage of self-discovery, where she must choose between indulging in purely physical pleasures or risking everything to find her “inner light” and the potential for sacred love, where sex is intertwined with genuine affection.
