A Quiet Dream

A Quiet Dream

Three men around a woman, and their unusual way of expressing their emotion.

2016101 min6.9 / 10

A gentle, character-driven study of three flawed men bound by quiet affection for a woman who accepts them without judgment, set in the intimate space of a Seoul bar.

They're losers, but nice ones. Every day they sit at Yeri's bar, smitten by the young Chinese-Korean woman. Yeri doesn't have a preference. To her, they are equally sweet: Jongbin, a milk-drinking epileptic, Ikjune, a former petty criminal, and the introverted Jungbum, who fled from North Korea.
