Glove

Sang-nam is a famous baseball player and a name known across the country. A brawl he gets into while drunk puts his career at risk. His promoter Charles brings him a suggestion: do voluntary work to repair his public image. The place is a school for deaf children, and the job is coaching the school’s baseball team. Sang-nam begins the work unwillingly. The film does not offer sport as a promise of rescue; it puts the students’ own aims at the centre. The difference between using an institution for visibility and actually changing something is the real subject. The hundred and forty four minutes are given to one season. Jung Jae-young and Yu Seon appear in Kang Woo-suk’s South Korean film, completed in 2011.
