'Three Minutes: A Lengthening' muestra una película casera rodada por David Kurtz en 1938 en un pueblo judío de Polonia e intenta posponer su final. Siempre y cuando estemos viéndola, la historia no se va a terminar. Los tres minutos de grabación, mayormente en color, son las únicas imágenes en movimiento que quedan de los habitantes judíos de Nasielsk antes del Holocausto. Los tres minutos existentes son examinados para desentrañar las historias que esconde el celuloide. La grabación está editada de forma imaginativa para crear un documental que dura más de una hora. Las diferentes voces mejoran las imágenes. Glenn Kurtz, el nieto de David Kurtz, aporta sus conocimientos sobre la grabación. Maurice Chandler, que aparece en el documental de niño, comparte sus recuerdos. La actriz Helana Bonham Carter narra el ensayo de la película.
