| Overview: | Contains the following three short films, one each from world-renowned directors from Japan, Hong Kong, and Korea:
BOX: THE JAPANESE EXTREME (~40 mins.)
Kyoko is a woman who suffers from recurring nightmares that never end properly, and keep her up night after night. But when her friend gives her an antique box, it acts as a catalyst for her to uncover some of the dark secrets sequestered away in the corners of her mind--secrets which may hold the key to her nightmares.
DUMPLINGS: THE HONG KONG EXTREME (~37 mins.)
A fallen starlet seeks help to reclaim her youth as well as her philandering husband. She finds salvation in Aunt Mei, whose secret recipe for restoring woman's youth is dumplings which are made from the remains of aborted fetuses.
CUT: THE KOREAN EXTREME (~48 mins.)
A film director learns some painful lessons about what it's like to be on the other side of the camera after a very disgruntled actor kidnaps him, his wife, and a little girl. The kidnapper instructs the director to kill the little girl, lest his wife's fingers be cut off one by one every five minutes.
