Screened at various film festivals, the aptly titled Nice Shorts consists of four short films from up and coming directors. A simple walk means so much more in the touching short "Shall We Take a Walk?" directed by Kim Ye Yeong and Kim Yeong Geun. Directed by Hong Sung Hoon, "Girl" tells of a father's strange day when his son's girlfriend shows up, and Lee Jeong Wook's "Mates" goes undercover into memories and crime solving. Winner of Best Korean Short at the 2009 Jeonju Film Festival and the Excellence Award at the Seoul Independent Film Festival, Jo Sung Hee's "Don't Step Out of the House" is about two young children who live in a rundown apartment by themselves, and what happens when adults invade their space.

À la fin des années 60, Howard Marks quitte son Pays de Galles natal pour la prestigieuse université d’Oxford, où il découvre les plaisirs des soirées psychédéliques. Pour rendre service, il s’improvise passeur de marijuana. Il y prend goût. S’appuyant sur ses amitiés dans les services secrets et avec un chef de l’IRA, il développe un réseau de transport de cannabis entre le Pakistan et Londres. Il se retrouve bientôt à la tête du plus grand trafic de marijuana d’Europe. Howard Marks se fait alors appeler MR. NICE : un contrebandier non violent et plein d’humour, qui deviendra une figure de la contre-culture britannique.
