About the Film
This is a moving story of domestic love that traverses this world and the next.
Our Season centers around a mother and daughter who did not share a good relationship, thanks to a sheer lack of communication. The mother worked hard for her daughter to study overseas, but hardly spent time with her. The daughter felt the void so much that she left for the US without even saying goodbye to her mother.
Her mother passed away soon after, and that affected both of them. Her daughter returned from the US to her home-town, where she decided to work in a diner, and serve food made from her mother’s best recipes. (So, the film gives us a good view/taste of Korean food!)
Meanwhile the mother missed her daughter so much that she managed to get permission to visit her daughter for 3 days, with a Guide to boot.
Many things happen during those 3 days, which are studded with humor, emotion, and irony. The mother gets frustrated when her daughter can’t see or hear her, as she’s a ‘ghost’!
But at the end of the sojourn, the mother-daughter re-connect, and regain their love for each other, even though they live in two worlds.
The film, with excellent performances by two top actresses, moved audiences at festivals in the US, Europe, Brazil, and was released in Singapore, Taiwan.
To quote the Korean Herald: “Our Season is a relatable story for all mothers and daughters.”
