Little Zezo and his rascal brother are horsing around in the kitchen when the older boy discovers something amazing: he can put his hand into boiling tea without getting burnt. It is only the first of a series of strange changes that are about to come over him, earning him the name Super-Blurry Boy, but nobody seems to notice. Sister Nora just wants the boys out of the way; his parents are too busy arguing to see what is happening to their boy. By nightfall, he will have discovered a super-power nobody could have imagined. A whimsical comedy, shot in black and white, in the joyous spirit of early cinema.

THE WORLD OF LOVE
Director: Yoon Ga-Eun
How do we rebuild our sense of self after deep emotional wounds? The World Of Love, the latest from Korean director Yoon Ga-eun, offers a moving portrait of a teenager navigating trauma with unexpected honesty and detachment. Jooin (Seo Su-bin), appears cheerful and outspoken, but her confidence masks a more painful past. Rather than focusing on suffering, the film explores resilience and the subtle power of reclaiming one’s own story. With understated direction and a remarkable performance from Chang Hyae-jin as Jooin’s mother, Yoon brings a lyrical sensitivity to the emotional terrain of family relationships and adolescence. Grounded and quietly courageous, The World Of Love is a deeply human story of survival and the quiet triumph of emotional healing.
