Fantastic Short Films 19 - Off the Screen

The Lady from 406

LEE Kyoung-mi

Korea2017 14min

Synopsis

The woman in the upper floor is getting crazy because of the cigarette smoke coming up from the under floor. She finally visits the house below, but the man there says something unexpected.

Program Note

The Lady from 406 by LEE Kyoung-mi starts to talk about the issue of noisy upstairs neighbors and smoking in the apartment buildings as extremely ordinary scenes, but it makes an attempt to agree with the fundamental and universal emotions that our contemporaries feel. To the eyes of the director, the apartment building is no more than a Rubik’s cube, a pile of rooms of molecular entities that are locked in their rooms while holding onto their deficiency, wounds and sense of alienation. (CHO Jae-hwi)
