In one second, successful businessman Yegor loses everything: his status, friends, family, and access to his own bank card. Suddenly, fate presents him with a dubious gift—he becomes the owner of unprofitable vineyards in his hometown of Anapa. Yegor knows nothing about winemaking, but returns to the Krasnodar Krai after 20 years. Here, he has to start from scratch, find himself, and rediscover love.

A marriage, broken by death, is kept alive by the memories held through grape soda.

Salma, a well-respected, Arab American professor, is stunned into silence after her world is shaken in the wake of an unthinkable tragedy. She is forced to rethink the relationships with those closest to her. How she reshapes her life will alter all she understood and trusted. With the love of her family, Salma regains the hope and strength she needs to ignite future change.

ALEXANDER THE GRAPE, an unfinished cut-paper animated short from Jim Henson from 1965, relates the fable of a young grape with big ambitions who learns that it is better to accept yourself than to try to be something you are not. The short was reconstructed from film and audio elements; images from Jim’s storyboard fill in missing segments of the animation.

Short film by Jae-Yeong Heo, Soo-gil Lee, and Derek Son Tae-woong.
