철들 무렵 | cheol-deul mu-ryeop
Directed by Jeong Seung-o (정승오)
104min | Release date in South Korea: 2026
Synopsis
Welder Cheol-taek is diagnosed with terminal cancer. This news not only resonates with his only daughter, Jeong-mi, a bit-part actress, but also with Hyeon-sook, who is enjoying her retirement after retiring from public service and effectively divorced from Cheol-taek; Hyeon-sook's mother, Ok-nam, who is nearing her 90s; Cheol-taek's older brother, Gwan-taek; and Gwan-taek's grandson, Dong-min.
The distant families reflect on the past and confront the festering pain within each other...
These are the days of coming of age, a time when the shadow of death has descended upon them.
