House of Hummingbird (Beol-sae) (2018)

Set in 1994 in Seoul, a touching coming-of-age drama centered around the quiet, unexceptional eighth-grader Eun-Hee (Ji-hu Park). Struggling to make passing grades and subject to non-stop screaming at home, she spends her time finding meaning in the love and friendships of her peers, in shoplifting, and in karaoke bars. It’s in her cram school professor Yong-Ji (Sae-byeok Kim), however, that Eun-Hee finds the answers that she seeks, as the two form an unlikely friendship. ??brahamdaliAwards: 59 wins & 48 nominationsWorldwide Gross: $1,041,948Bora KimJi-hu Park, Sae-byeok Kim, In-gi Jeong2020-06-26 (South Korea)tt8951086
