I'll Call You
The film examines love in our postmodern society. In this oddball romantic comedy, Man works as a clerk in a shipping company. His life is truly non-eventful and dull, until he meets the beautiful but highly arrogant Karen. By day, Karen is a marketing manager. When the sun is down, she frequents clubs and discos to fill her time and search for company. Mans affection towards Karen is obvious, but she thinks of him as nothing more than a friend, someone whom she can always rely on though not someone she will care for in return. After a series of failed relationships with men who do not care for her, Karen tries to find consolation in Man, but the tide has changed, so has Mans heart ...

Love Story
A theatre usher looks everywhere for love only to find it in a library book. A cop chases a killer only to wind up at the end of her own gunKAnd a pulp-romance writer confuses fact with fiction and learns that true love comes only after a great loss. The stories that flows from the desire to find true love leads us various stories that come across time, space and consequences, demonstrating with warmth and honestly that the lines between fact and fiction often are blurred. Whether cynic or romantic, Love Story will touch everyone with its insightful charm.
