Short VacationJong chak yeok

Dir.  Han-Sol Seo & Kwon Min-pyo  |  South Korea  |  2020

Four middle school girls are given an assignment as they break for summer vacation: photograph the end of the world. Initially perplexed, the four friends take their cameras aboard a train with the intent to ride it to the end of the line. When they arrive, though, they realize the tracks continue on. Imbued with the breezy, languid feeling of a long summer day spent with friends, Short Vacation is a tender-hearted portrait of youth in search of itself.
