The mountain is in itself a vast world, yet we find another intricately intertwined world as we look closer. The film follows Romanian wild mushroom hunters in their strenuous search. Like the intricately intertwined network of filaments making up a mushroom, their lives are intricately connected by mushrooms, and the film shows the mysterious propagation and expansion of their lives. Just as patience and cooperation are essential in mushroom hunting, their lives too must coexist like the forest, trees, and mushrooms, despite occasional quarrels and bickering. Thus does the mushroom spreads to another, larger world. (H.Jay LEE) [Screening Information] * Every film is only available from 00:00(KST) on its start date to 23:59(KST) on its end date.
