Synopsis
4MINUTE’s Jeon Ji Yoon, Steve Yuen, Kim Dasom, and more are the stars in an omnibus of five short tales of ordinary folk, their lives, and their loves.
In the opening tale, named “A Time to Leave,” the long-suffering mother of four daughters decides to end her life after months of illness. She tells her daughters that she has terminal cancer, and asks her children to spend three more days with her before she ends her days. Next, in “A Lady at the Bar,” two men at a bar both take a fancy to the same woman and try to win her affections. Which of these suitors will she choose? Or is she interested in neither? Third, in “A Remaining Time,” a couple who love each other decide to ask a soothsayer about their future. But this turns out to be a fateful moment: She tells them that if they stay together, they will surely die – and must break up within 100 days or pay the ultimate price… In the titular “Like a French Film,” a man dotes on a woman who works a night shift, bending over backward to please her with his every action. And in the final tale, “2016. New Year's Film,” new beginnings are all around as January 14 dawns.
“Like a French Film” is a 2016 South Korean movie that was written and directed by Shin Youn Sik.
