Six Minutes to Midnight is set in the summer of 1939, days ahead of the declaration of World War II, as English teacher Thomas Miller (Emmy winner Eddie Izzard) takes up a post at a finishing school in an English seaside town, where the influential families of Nazi Germany have sent their daughters to learn the language. Seeing what lies ahead, Miller tries to raise the alarm, but the authorities believe he is the problem.

Oscar winners Dame Judi Dench (The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) and Jim Broadbent (Iris, Moulin Rouge!), Swiss actress Carla Juri (Blade Runner 2049), and James D'Arcy (Dunkirk, Avengers: Endgame) co-star. 

 Directed by BAFTA nominee Andy Goddard (Downton Abbey), the war drama was nominated for two 2021 BAFTA Cymru awards – Best Actress (Dench) and Best Costume Design.
