[REL] House of Hummingbird (2018)

Another movie from South Korea. Worth watching!

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8951086/
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.

I just read my review about that Movie from the past (wow, it was 2019) from the festival screening...

It was a rather sad film whose moments of happiness are very rare, even in one's own family. The only exception is a tutor who seems to be the only one who understands Eunhee (the main character) and accepts her as she is. But the bad moments lasted until the bitter end of the movie.
By the way, the fact that the film is set in 1994 is no mere coincidence. It was a year of some profound events in South Korea. One of them was the collapse of the Seongsu Bridge, which plays a role in the film.

That is a large file. I have a smaller one at 946 mb with hard subs.
