A collage of images, thoughts and letters that seek to find the meaning of "ugliness" seen through time. The film pays an homage to Jean-Luc Godard's film-collages such as "Histoire(s) du cinema" (1988-1998) and "The image book" (2018) using different sources from film and literature to create a discourse about ugliness.

Ten Minutes Older is a 2002 film project consisting of two compilation feature films entitled The Trumpet and The Cello. The project was conceived by the producer Nicolas McClintock as a reflection on the theme of time at the turn of the Millennium. Fifteen celebrated film-makers were invited to create their own vision of what time means in ten minutes of film.

A reporter, fired after refusing to give names to a 1951 House Un-American Activities Committee, takes a part-time job as companion to an old lady. While working she overhears a noisy argument in the neighboring house, being conducted largely in German and involving her HUAC prosecutor. She begins to investigate, enlisting the help of the FBI Agent initially detailed to surveil her.
