What a beautiful, heartwarming, funny, sentimental, touching little gem!
I couldn't stop smiling, laughing, tearing and crying while watching this wonderful grandma traveling through 90 years of her lifetime in one day.
Meeting a series of her past-selves from childhood, adolescence, maturity and the moment she first met her husband, all in just one day.
The most precious and delicious tangerines for the most special day of their life together.

Such a little diamond!
Only 30 minutes, but it was a powerful story which had all the emotions one can feel...
From pain, despair, fear, anger to relief, friendship, warmth, joy, hope, love!
A must see...

A unique action story, with stunning cinematography and effects, seamless editing -even in the brilliant use of subtitles and credits- and a perfectly-fitted electronic score.
Zany and ironic, an acidic social comment on social isolation thoroughly enjoyable!

A wholesome road trip/coming-of-age story, just like all Yoon Ga Eun's heartfelt movies.
Bittersweet, emotional and full of nostalgia, brilliantly filmed and acted.

Part of an anthology of sci fi stories, this short film is a sharp commentary on social discrimination but, most of all, a heartbreakingly beautiful love story - that one scene was more powerful, intimate and heart-fluttering than any romantic scene most dramas have ever given us.

Part of an anthology of sci fi stories, this short film had a fast-paced, engaging story with a great human and AI pairing, compelling fighting scenes and a badass FL full of charisma.
I wish there were more cases for this duo to solve!

With a masterfully blended mixture of folklore tradition, Pansori storytelling, Madanggeuk theatrical techniques, sageuk martial arts, romance and black comedy, this multi-genre short film was a surrealistic, whimsical colourful feast for the eyes and ears!
