Coming of Age

JEONG Seung-o Korea

Jury Comment Coming of Age addresses the particular issues arising from the Korean family structure with both humor and sincerity. By carefully considering the distinct characteristics of each generation, the film regards each individual as a subject with their own future. Its witty rhythm, enriched by music, reflects the spirited interplay across generations. Rather than offering an idealized conclusion, the film focuses on the characters colliding within this framework, inviting reflection on the pressing issues of the here and now.
