Wonderful Days
Moon-saeng Kim
South Korea, 2003 > 93’00

-- Australian Premiere --

Five years in the making and created with a team of over 300, we are delighted to present the Australian premiere of the film that has the animation world talking. Drawing strongly on traditional manga style but using cutting edge technology to incorporate 2D, 3D and even miniature modeling into the mix, Wonderful Days is like no other film we have screened.

Earth is on the brink of extinction due to pollution and environmental disasters. In order to survive, humans create a shielded city called Ecoban that organically grows everything it needs, feeding on the earth’s pollution as an energy source. However, only a select few are allowed to live in the shielded city, leaving many to perish in the waste of the wilderness outside.

Inevitably, an intruder breaks into Ecoban as security frantically rushes to the scene of the crime. Jay, one of the leaders of the security unit, chases down the intruder only to find that it’s her first love, Suha. Previously assumed dead, Suha has returned to Ecoban a criminal, reminding Jay of his promise to her that he would show her a blue sky – something that has long since gone.
