Synopsis

Episode 1. Moonwalk
portraits the middle aged woman’s love that cannot come true. The story is about Moon, a middle aged woman who works at a mart while raising a high school daughter alone. Moon had come to Lake Sanjeong with her crush on a picnic last fall, but now she visits the area alone. Director BOO' s unique sensitive portrayal and directing abilities are anticipated.

Episode 2. Immature
is about a man with a broken heart who coincidentally meets a young innocent girl and begins new love that heals him. Through a rough and awkward love, director YANG shows an honest and serene story of youth maturing through love.
Jin-cheol wakes up in the morning to find a stranger in bed with him. To make matters worse, she is in high school! What will happen to the two? Will they fall in love?

Director's Note

Since 2007, Jeonju Int’l Film Festival has promoted Korean short films planned with its ‘Short! Short! Short! Project’ that supports short films of talented, young Korean directors. The Short! Short! Short! Project is produced by INDIESTORY Inc., and co-provided by KT&G Sangsangmadang, Jeonju Int’l Film Festival, and INDIESTORY Inc.
This year’s project’s theme is “Love”. The two directors, BOO Ji-young and YANG Ik-june will put together two short to mid length films to create one feature omnibus film for a new experimental film method. The ensemble of short films under the theme of love by the directors who have already impressed with their distinct style to audiences will be a new challenge taken in the Short! Short! Short!
