Hide and seek

숨바꼭질

Hide and Seek is a short fiction film inspired by true events during the wars of the 1990s, seen through a child’s perspective. In a city under siege, a group of people takes shelter in a basement while sniper fire dominates the streets above. As water supplies begin to run out, the only access to a well requires crossing an exposed passage constantly monitored by a sniper. While adults hesitate, remain silent, or avoid making a decision, responsibility quietly falls on a single mother with a young daughter. She leaves the safety of the shelter and runs across the dangerous passage to bring water back for those who stay behind. Inside the basement, children play hide and seek, unaware that the rules of their game mirror the reality surrounding them.
