BOYS – Director Yoon Sung-hyun’s 30 min short film,

Bleak Night is the story of a grieving father (Jo Sung-ha) over the death of his son Ji-tae (Lee Je-hoon) and trying to make sense of it all. After going through Ji-tae’s things and stumbling on a few pictures of him and his friends, Ji-tae’s father attempts to track them down to inquire just what could possibly lead to his son committing suicide. His journey leads him to Hye-jun (Park Jung-min) and Dong-yoon (Seo Jun-young) who were once Ji-tae’s best friends, but Hye-jun transferred schools a few weeks before Ji-tae’s death and Dong-yoon dropped out of school and skipped out on the funeral. As one troubled man chews over everyone continuously giving him answers to everything other than the questions he finds himself repeatedly asking, the delicate and yet intricate boundaries of companionship are pushed to their limits.

A student feature from the Korean Academy of Film Arts (KAFA), which has been training some of the Korea’s best talent since the ‘80s, including Bong Joon-ho, Im Sang-soo, & Kim Tae-gyun.
KAFA produces four feature-length projects per year.
