After five short movies, Yoon Ga-Eun presents her first feature, “The World of Us”. The filmmaker is currently in post-production for her second feature: “The House of Us”.
The film immerses us in the life of Sun, a 10-years old girl. She lives with her little brother. She goes to elementary school, and, despite trying to make friends, she is not really accepted by her classmates. As summer vacation starts, she meets Ji-Ah, who recently moved into town. They quickly bond. But school starts over and peer pressure makes things more complicated. The two girls’ friendship is disrupted.

Perhaps one of the reasons childhood is...
