Synopsis:

The founder of ‘Dream House’ incarnates himself as a ‘father’ and athletics coach, leading a group of troubled children aged between 5 and 20. The kids wake up at four in the morning, unafraid of the cold or heat, and grit their teeth in the vow to ‘bleed, sweat, and not cry’. Sports is the best way to steer children away from the bad path. Here, the track is the classroom, sweat is the language. The ‘Dream House’ is the only home and belonging recognised in the hearts of this group of wounded children.
