Two Pasts Towards Tomorrow (dir. Ken-ichi Ohmori, Japan)
Kaito aimed for the Olympic Games as a marathon runner but had to give up his dream on account of his injury. Now he works at the city hall and spends his days lethargically, much to the disappointment of his girlfriend Marino.
One day, Kaito is suffering through heavy rain in the mountain where he guides the city’s guests. He enters a mining tunnel to avoid the rain, but as he emerges once more from the tunnel, he finds himself stepping into a strange new reality where things turned out very differently.
