SYNOPSIS

On a winter morning on the way to work, Kiyoung finds Gilho sleeping on the wooden bench in front of his house. Gilho is a teenager who has run away from home because he can no longer face the domestic violence he suffers there. Kiyoung, who seems tough but has a tender heart, lets Gilho stay in his house for a few days and Gilho comes to trust Kiyoung. It seems that Kiyoung must have recognized his own dark past in Gilho. However, as Gilho′s friends visit, conflicts happen between Kiyoung and Gilho.

DIRECTING INTENTION

I have met out-of-school youth for a long time as an art instructor. Big Sleep was made for the countless wounded children I met and the adults who willingly embraced them without any reward.
