4:30 traces the relationship between Xiao Wu (Xiao Li Yuan) an eleven year old Chinese Boy and his tenant Jung (Young-jun Kim) a thirty-something Korean man. Told entirely from the perspective of the boy Xiao Wu this story of two very different characters is less about friendship than about a shared experience and appreciation of solitude. 4:30 starts with Xiao sneaking into Jung's room and stealing from him. Just as getting intoxicated is a habit for Jung who only staggers back to his rented room when drunk soon theft for Xiao Wu becomes equally as compulsive....

It is only through Xiao's encounter with Jung and his failed bid to end his life that he begins to understand his true fascination with Jung. [show more]
