Synopsis
Riceboy Sleeps (2023) is a Canadian drama you can watch online on iFILM. It follows a Korean immigrant single mother raising her son in the suburbs of 1990s Canada.
She left South Korea behind for a better life, and now she's building it alone. Her boy grows up caught between two worlds — Korean home life on one side, the pull to fit in at a mostly white school on the other. The film moves across years, and the easy closeness of early childhood slowly hardens into the friction only family can cause.
Anthony Shim wrote, directed and acts in the film, which took the Platform Prize at the Toronto festival. It's shot on warm grain, patient and unforced, never reaching for melodrama. A quiet, personal watch for anyone drawn to honest stories about immigration and growing up. Stream Riceboy Sleeps (2023) online on iFILM.
