Other name: 봄, Bom, Spring

Description:

Set in 1960s post-war Korea, "Late Spring" unfolds during a period when the government dispatches troops to Vietnam, aiming to revitalize the nation's devastated economy. Amidst this era of rebuilding, we meet Joo Goo, a genius sculptor and a prominent figure in the art scene. His world is shattered by a diagnosis of a progressive disorder that will inevitably lead to total body paralysis. Overwhelmed by despair, he abandons his beloved work and loses all meaning in life. His devoted wife, Jung Sook, unable to bear witness to his daily decline, embarks on a heartfelt quest to find a nude model, hoping to rekindle his artistic spirit. Her search eventually leads her to Min Gyung, a young mother with two children, who is herself grappling with profound losses suffered in the war. Their intersecting lives form a poignant drama about art, resilience, and the search for hope amidst personal and national struggles.
