Synopsis
Drifting Laurent
Lost at 29, Laurent retreats to an empty Alpine ski resort, where clashes with quirky residents ignite conflict, challenge his isolation and push him toward connection and self-discovery.
Love Exposure
The story of a teenage boy named Yu, who falls for Yoko, a girl he runs into while operating for the sake of sin as an "up-skirt" photographer. His attempts to woo her are complicated by a spot of cross-dressing – which convinces Yoko that she is lesbian – dalliances with kung-fu and crime, and a constant struggle with the guilt that's a legacy of his Catholic upbringing.
