Synopsis

Spoiler shield

An anthology produced by the 8th production of KAFA + Next D. The film consists of three pieces: a black comedy, "Chicken Game", directed by Park Soo-yeong ("Irreversible"), an erotic melo-drama, "Second Account", directed by Kwon Chil-in ("Venus Talk"), and an SF thriller, "Lucid Dream 3D", directed by Kwon Ho-young ("Psychometry"). One can witness an extension of the genre of 3D films that are often limited to horror, action and blockbuster films. "One Night Dream" is waiting for its theatrical release this summer and has its world premiere at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival.
