Bundle up tight, deck the halls, and join your friends and family at the final Free Movie Night series of 2012. It’s time to enjoy the gift of cinema from KCS – because it’s Christmas in Korea!

CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST (1998)

30-something Jung-won runs a small photo studio, and muses on the meaning of life. For him, human existence is all too short, and – for this ill young man – he’s come to grips with what may be his final years on this Earth. Just when life seems its bleakest, the lovely young Darim walks into his studio and gives Jung-won a new lease on life. Now, as his health deteriorates, this brave dreamer must face down fate and ensure that, if he is to die, he will make the world a more beautiful place before disappearing. Bring your tissues, because this heartwarming, poetic romance is sure to tug at your holiday heartstrings.

The film will be shown in Korean with English subtitles.
