On a Gentle Night

On a Gentle Night

The story came up with a little boy around 9-10 year-old, whose father invited his gay lover back home dinner, accidentally finding this secret – his father falling in love with another man, and trying to understand by his own. Focusing on the ‘silent moment’ among this family, I try to portrait a character to look at this scene from a distance, without intervening, without understanding, and without judgment. And the story turns out to be dealing with the embarrassed condition and complicated emotions between ‘father’ and ‘son’.
