Summaries

An anthology film of seven short films made during the Training Camp of FIRST Film Festival 2021.

'The Guest' A cold and aloof thief breaks into a house to steal but encounters a "crime enthusiast." '3-Point Iron' A basketball-playing youth meets a square-dancing aunt on the square - "One court, different expressions." 'Room by the Sea' She sleeps, makes noise, cries, but refuses to complete the final puzzle. 'Night Night' He escapes from prison, steals cars, trespasses into homes, and kills with a knife, but in the end, he finds love. 'Misstep' Long-lost brothers reunite, and burglary also relies on footsteps. 'In a Hurry' A taxi driver, in pursuit of the freedom to urinate, turns everywhere into a public toilet. 'My Son' Father and dog both go missing, who should they look for first? "Face's a Verb," composed of seven independent stories, is an experiment exploring life and death, black and white, intimacy, and distance. The creators attempt to get close to the nature of raw sincerity, delving into the most acute and conflicted realms of images and emotions.—Dou Ban
