About Event
What does it mean to be alive? Not dead, yes. But so much more, especially when it is placed in the hands of filmmakers from around the globe, each bringing their nuances and cultural themes. It is a universal theme that can be applied to many experiences as part of our human condition.
This year, see what these international storytellers have done to bring the big screen ALIVE at Star Cinema!

Work, earn a salary, live off that money. This simple postulate has always been a problem for Jungchul, who works at a soybean paste factory. During the winter, he fantasizes about traveling to the Philippines in spring, where the weather is mild, and life is easier. The only thing he must do to reach his dream and leave is to achieve the soybean paste quota he promised his boss, but soon the fermentation room turns musty and black mould starts spreading from the thousands of fermented soybean lumps.
A simple labourer in a remote mountain village is driven to desperate measures to provide for the women in his life.
