OPENING NIGHT
China and South Korea will be the protagonists of the opening Night of Wednesday the 24th of April, with two international premieres. Getting the ball rolling will be box office smash YOLO, starring and directed by famous comic actress Jia Ling. It's the adaptation of Japanese cult movie 100 Yen Love, which won itself a lot of fans at FEFF in 2015, and tells the story of a woman who turns her life around in a completely unexpected way when she puts on a pair of boxing gloves. The evening's second title, Park Young-ju's Citizen of a Kind, is instead an irresistible action comedy about an unemployed single mum who falls victim to internet fishing. Will our not-so lucky heroine and her group of friends manage to throw a spanner in the works of a dangerous criminal
organisation?
