Much like a hummingbird, 14-year-old Eun-hee (Park Ji-hu) is small yet intensely alive, her senses wide open to the vast and unknowable world that lies ahead. She quietly navigates the uncertainties of adolescence, fleeting romance, and changing times. Through her curious gaze, one is drawn back to a pivotal moment in Korean history that shaped a generation: the tragic 1994 collapse of Seoul’s Seongsu Bridge.
Director Bo-ra Kim’s Berlinale prize-winning 2019 debut was a huge critical and commercial success in Korea and abroad.
