The Hole: Seven days to the 21st century: the rain will not let up in Taiwan, and a strange disease reaches epic proportions. Despite evacuation warnings, the tenants of a run-down public housing building stay put. A plumber has been sent to Hsiao Kang's apartment, but instead of fixing the leak, he leaves a gaping hole in the middle of the living room. Through the hole, Kang spies on his downstairs neighbor, a woman who stockpiles toilet paper and dreams about singing and dancing in Kang's arms.

The First Night Of My Life: An extravagant road movie set on New Year's Eve, 1999 in a Madrid suburb where the highways seem to lead nowhere. It begins with a simple invitation to dinner for Manuel and his very pregnant wife, Paloma. Soon the night becomes a succession of misunderstandings, hitchhiking, lost cars, mistaken identities, small accidents, and petty disputes. Beggars, thieves, tourists, taxi drivers, and police officers all come together at the crucial moment when the clock strikes twelve, and no one celebrates New Year's Eve as planned.

The Wall: A comic allegory set in a food stall in Brussels, where the enterprising and romantic Albert sells french fries served with fortune-cookie messages. On the eve of the new millennium, Albert is struck by a horrific sight -- his shop, situated precisely on Belgium's linguistic border, has, during the night, been cut in two by an enormous and impenetrable wall. What's worse, the Frencophone Albert is trapped on the Flemish side!

Tamas And Juli: A simple and touching story focusing on the budding romance between Tamas, a young coal miner, and Juli, a kindergarten teacher. On December 31, 1999, Juli sends a love letter to Tamas proposing a rendezvous, but Tamas is assigned a late shift in the mine. Juli is sitting and waiting for him, but he has no way of reaching her.

The Book Of Life: In this darkly comic retelling of the Apocalypse, Jesus (Martin Donovan) arrives at JFK airport with his intriguing assistant, Magdalena (PJ Harvey). While the world ponders the meaning of this second coming, Jesus battles the Devil for human souls, risks the wrath of God, and struggles with himself over whether these lives are worth saving. The Book Of Life presents an unrelenting kaleidoscope of fast-moving images and heart-pounding music that perfectly captures a techno-driven, computerized, and postmodernist world.

Life On Earth: On the eve of the year 2000, Abderrahmane Sissako, a Mauritanian filmmaker living in France, goes home to visit his father in a small village in Mali. At the post office, he encounters a young woman. A relationship develops, while on the streets of the village, daily life goes on peacefully and unchanged as a new millennium arrives.

The Sanguinaires: To escape the global hysteria and the final countdown to the new millennium, a group of friends decide to flee Paris and exile themselves on a remote Mediterranean island called The Sanguinaires. There, they must resist the temptation to break the rules that are set up to cut themselves off from the world. But their leader, Francois, cannot find his place in what he himself had wanted and organized. It turns out you can't escape from the world that easily.

Midnight: Refusing to spend the last day of the 20th century in prison, Joao (Luis Carlos Vasconcellos) agrees to murder his best friend in return for his freedom. Out of desperation, Maria (Fernanda Torres), a beautiful young speech therapist looks to end her life after being abandoned by the man she loves. The two meet on the rooftop of a building overlooking Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana beach. As the new millennium approaches and fireworks ignite around them, Joao and Maria make a comm??????
