    Brief synopsis

    The story of “Prime Time” takes place on New Year’s Eve in 1999. Armed Sebastian (Bartosz Bielenia) gets into a TV studio. He takes two hostages: a presenter (Magdalena Popławska) and a security guard (Andrzej Kłak). Their lives will remain in the hands of the young man until the station meets his demand and allows him to speak on air at prime time.
