The Fish Child (El niño pez).
by Lucía Puenzo - Αργεντινή
Lala, a teenager from the most exclusive suburban neighborhood in Argentina is in love with the enigmatic and attractive Guayi, a 20-year-old Paraguayan maid employed in her parents’ home. They dream of living together in Paraguay, on the shores of Lake Ypoá. They rob every purse and wallet in the house to fulfill their fantasy, concealing the money in a shoe box. Yet once they have enough money, age, jealousy, and desire suddenly fuse in a fatal recipe threatening to destroy their dreams and shake her family ties at their very foundations. This spurs their great escape via the highway that connects the North of Buenos Aires to Paraguay. While Lala waits to be reunited with her lover in Ypoá, she is confronted with her past. She reflects upon the mystery surrounding her pregnancy and the mythical legend Guayi often recounted about a fish child that guides the drowned to the bottom of the lake. But Guayi never arrives in Ypoá, she is held at a juvenile detention centre on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, under suspicion of murdering Lala’s father.

Soundless Wind Chime (Wu Sheng Feng Ling)
by Kit Hung
Pasquale is a young Swiss man who ends up in Hong Kong, making ends meet by juggling in the streets and occasionally pick-pocketing. When he steals Ricky's wallet, a shy Chinese youth and fast food bike delivery boy, their subsequent meeting blossoms into a tentative, almost wordless romance. Employing an associative flashback structure to trace the development of Pasquale and Ricky's burgeoning relationship and its aftermath, Kit Hung's debut feature is a moving exploration of love, memory, and regret.
