Tahereh comes aboard this women's prison as the new warden. Tough and determined to get the prison into shape, she takes a harsh stance and believes that she can break each and every one of her inmates into submission. In particular, Mitra, who is in jail for having killed her abusive stepfather. Over the course of seventeen years, new inmates come and go, and the relationship between Mitra and Tahereh evolves. And through the life story of each inmate, their bonds, and their differences, we see a microcosm of the Iranian society in its post-revolution years.

Seemingly voyeuristic in its approach, Motel Cactus is a steamy narrative of people's lives and relationships, all of which takes place in a single, seedy motel room in Seoul. The film consists of four separate stories that illuminate the complexity of the human condition. In the first encounter Choi chooses to spend her birthday with her boyfriend Lee Min-Koo at the motel, because it is the only place she feels entirely secure with him. Next, film student Sung Joon-Ki rents the room to shoot a scene for his filmmaking project, but while waiting for the cameraman to show up he and the actress become physically intimate. In the third story an older couple, Kim Suk-Tae and Choi Hyun-Joo, heavily intoxicated after drinking at a bar, use the room for a one night stand. Finally, a recent divorcee rents the room to reconnect with her old flame. The four stages of romantic relationships presented in this first film by Park Ki-yong provide an original look at modern sexual loneliness and desire. Movie trivia - Shot by Chris Doyle, look out for a linking shot of a prop that shows up in Wong Kar Wai's Happy Together, which Doyle was also shooting at the time. Awards/Festivals: New Currents Award Pusan International Film Festival 1997; FIPRESCI Prize - Special Mention and Nominated Tiger Award Rotterdam International Film Festival 1998; Singapore International Film Festival 1998.

When does love let go? This is a parent's angst, and it grips the mother in this exquisite film from Indonesia. Ahn's daughter Daya, a joyful young woman who loves to sing, is coming of age. Mother-love presses Ahn to keep Daya out of harm's way. The child, or anak as Ahn calls her daughter, yearns for some independence but finds her mother watching her every move. Daya's dearest fantasy is the return of her absent father to complete the family. When their small sea village is threatened by vigilantes, the two escape over sand dunes and flee into the wilderness, finding an abandoned shack where others have taken refuge. Fierce sand storms, strange men, a new friend, and whispering sands mark Daya's new life. When Ahn's sister, a professional dancer, visits and teaches Daya some moves, Ahn tightens her grip and her daughter begins to resist. Then Daya's father surprises the two with his return. He strikes a deal with a merchant who desires his daughter, rocking Daya's idolization of her father and cracking her innocence. Seeing this, Ahn's hand is forced.
