Snake Infestation in Factory
The film revolves around a shady factory that secretly digs up graves and unearths a two-headed python. Unlike previous snake thrillers where humans actively invade the rainforest, this time, the snakes descend en masse to launch a preemptive attack on a human settlement. Security captain Li Mingjun (Wu Tingye) and his apprentice Xie Feng (Jin Long) watch the hunt from a surveillance room to lure out the two-headed python. They then collude with factory manager Zhao Yongmin (Xu Shaohang) to transport sick pigs and instruct butcher Zhang Dawen (Li Long) to trap the python with a live human. Female forklift driver Xia Qing (Yang Lei) teams up with her fellow worker Wang Siyan (Chen Xinzhe) to fight against the forces of greed, ultimately shedding a venomous venom with maternal love.

L'albero
Bianca is 23 years old, and it already feels like too much. She has left her parents' home and is supposed to attend university, but she never goes. She has a few specific obsessions: the passing of time, cocaine, and Angelica. Since they started living together, everything seems to move faster, spiraling downwards. Even their friendship stumbles into addiction and becomes confused with love. Bianca keeps a notebook, jotting down notes for her books. Still, she wishes she could write everything in it: that youth is painful and already slipping away, that friendship breaks your heart, and that we constantly lose everything — and yet, maybe, in the end — between the night streets of Rome, the boys of Naples, and the tree that stands silently, visible through the window — nothing will be truly lost.

Finding the Adolescence
Takane (Honoka Miki) is a teenage student interested in art. Her friend Mika (Misato Aoyama) wants to become a novelist. They are best friends and have developed feelings for each other. Their relationship though becomes shaken by the presence of Namie (Yukie Kawamura). Namie is an ex-novelist and works as a librarian.

A Bad Summer
Sasaki is a sincere civil servant, working at city hall. Due to his timid personality, he can't properly deal with nasty people, including a single mother on the verge of giving up her own child, another civil servant pressing him to have a physical relationship, and a person who receives welfare benefits unfairly. His passivity leads him to get caught up in a terrible crime.
