Time, which screened as the opening film at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, tells the story of a woman who uses plastic surgery to make herself unrecognizable to her boyfriend.
Meanwhile, Cineclick also secured a number of pre-sales deals for KIM's upcoming 14th film "Breath".

Cineclick is also said to be considering various co-financing deals from major territories.
"Breath" will star Chinese actor Chang Chen, who appeared in Ang LEE's breakaway hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, as a death row convict who falls in love with a woman who discovers her husband cheating.
