“None widely documented; thematic anchors: writing, memory, shared past, the word "MIracle"”
Three young women—Jenn, Aica, and Cariz—retreat to a resort with one goal: to write a daring, passionate screenplay for a contest. But their own love lives are dry; inspiration refuses to come. As nights pass by the pool, in the woods, and around campfires, they realize the line between fiction and reality is thinning. Each begins to seep into the other's life like a character they're writing. Until one of them notices the tattoo on a man's back: "MIracle" — the same word connecting all three to a shared past. The retreat becomes less about writing and more about reckoning.
Three women, a resort, a screenplay competition, and a man with 'MIracle' tattooed on his back. Vivamax's 2024 film Kulong begins as a simple writing retreat story. Then things get complicated: a glance by the pool, a touch under the trees, a confession by the fire. This 48-minute short leaves you oscillating between the emotions of its three protagonists . What if the screenplay isn't separate from their lives? What if everything they write is actually a reflection of their own past? The most striking moment arrives at the 31-minute mark—a scene that makes you question who is writing whom . If you're looking for a short but intense cinematic experience that pushes boundaries, Kulong is waiting.
