The Photo

A photography student’s simple assignment becomes an unexpected bridge between past and present when she captures a portrait of an elderly woman she befriended in a New York park. What begins as a class project reveals that some photographs hold stories far deeper than their surface, and some connections transcend time itself.

Card Night

Five women gather for their weekly card game, each bringing their distinct personalities to the table—from shy to bold, traditional to philosophical. But when their friendly evening is violently interrupted, these seasoned players must use more than just their card skills to survive. Sometimes the most dangerous games aren’t played with cards at all.

In a sun-filled parlor, an elderly couple shares their daily tea ritual while watching birds dance in their garden. As he struggles to remember and she patiently answers his questions, their afternoon unfolds like many before it—a delicate dance of love, loss, and fading memories. But some rituals hold darker purposes than others.
