The Sleeping Beast tells a dark story about a group of children who spend their summer playing in an abandoned collective farm. After a string of events, a local guard Elmar falls into a steep pit in the ground. The children leave him there promising each other not to mention the event to anyone. Elmar becomes a secret asset to their game. Despite the promise, one of the children wants to save the guard. Should he betray his friends to save a life? The Sleeping Beast teaches us about right and wrong without sugarcoating the reality we live in.
