First off, 'Beautiful Washing Machine,The' directed by James Lee is portraying a story in which Teoh's second hand washing machine has a life of her own: she washes when she wants to and stops when she feels like it.

When Teoh discovers the secret soul of this temperamental slave, he exploits her for all his other household chores and starts to pimp her out to strangers. In this off-kilter dark comedy, the effects of alienation and desperation in the increasingly commodified city of Kuala Lumpur will spiral before you like a dry spin in slow motion.

Duel directed by Ahmad Reza DARVISH deals a story in which Duel is set during the early years of the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. 40-year old Zeinal is released from prison after serving twenty years for treason.

In Khoramshahr, he joins a resistance action by a small group of locals near a train station. After diving headlong into the conflict, he is asked by a man named Eskandar and his associates to aid them in stopping a conspiracy.

That involves trespassing on enemy territory to retrieve some classified documents held behind the Iraqi frontline.

'Hunter, The' directed by Serik Aprymov also is portraying a story in which The Hunter begins with the birth of a wolf pup. One day, as his beautiful but morally lacking mother entertains a passing wolf hunter, young Erken commits a petty crime and then runs away into the mountains.

There he winds up living with the hunter. Eventually they come across Kokjal - a lone wolf and nemesis to the hunter. An encounter with Erken's mother results in his 5-year absence, the death of the hunter, the disappearance of Kokjal, and the emergence of a new hunter.

South of the Clouds directed by Zhu Wen is a story in which mddle-aged Xu Daqin's life-long dream has been to go to Yunnan, a province near Tibet. When he was young, Xu had the chance to work there, but an affair with a girl pushed him into marriage with her and kept him in the north.
