Three episodes, each set in a different season in the Seochon neighbourhood of Seoul’s Jongno District. The first two are bright and breezy affairs about the vagaries of love - and the last is a weightier, wintry story about a feeling of loss so complex that it must be uncovered from the involuted layers of different media (a diary, letters, poetry, a screenplay, a film-within-a-film, a flower arrangement).

With films like Come, Closer (2010), The Table (2016) and Shades of the Heart (2021), writer/director Kim Jong-kwan has carefully honed his mastery of the anthology form, collecting into a feature frame highly crafted short films which each work independently, but also reflect and interplay with each other to offer a bigger picture of the human condition. Delicate and witty, metacinematic and melancholic, this latest is a Rohmer-esque love letter to Seochon, and to our capacity for both fickleness and more profound change.
