Chimpanzee In the year 2000, Godot, who works part-time promoting a DVD room in Gwanghwamun, happens to read a mysterious story about chimpanzees. One day, Godot goes to a cinema to see an art film with his friend Zeze and meets Momo, who has come to see the film alone. The three become friends through their shared interest in films and are captivated by the story of chimpanzees that were imported to South Korea in the 1970s. In 2025, Godot, now a film director, returns to Gwanghwamun after a long time. He happens to visit the second-hand bookstore he went to more than 20 years ago. There, he reads the book about chimpanzees again, and heads to the cinema alone.
Naturally It is a hot summer day on a film set. The director wants to capture scenes of child actors playing naturally, but they struggle to achieve the desired effect. The director requests that the child actors act comfortably and naturally, as they would with their friends, but the children are unsure of how to do so.
The Time of Younghwa The cinema manager Sejung, cinema cleaning worker Wooyeon and cinema projectionist Juyeon start their day's work. Younghwa living in Chuncheon goes out to Gwanghwamun for the first time in a long time and walks around Jeongdong-gil.

Chimpanzee A film is a medium that captures a period in time, and a cinema is a space that contains that time. I wanted to capture what has changed and has not changed in the passage of time within that space. Also, I wanted to preserve a story about a chimpanzee that actually existed through the film.
Naturally Films are a strange and peculiar medium. They have to look real, even though they are fake, and they have to feel natural, even though they are carefully crafted. It’s extremely difficult. But fortunately, it’s something we make together, not alone.
The Time of Younghwa A cinema worker’s day unexpectedly intersects with Younghwa’s day. Their unforeseen encounter takes place in the cinema — a space of meeting and connection. A story about the people of the cinema, and the cinema itself.
