House of the Seasons, is a 2025 South Korean family drama that delves into the quiet breakdown of a multi-generational family bound by tradition and a tofu factory in Daegu. The film follows the Kim family through gatherings across the seasons—including ancestral rites and a sudden funeral—that expose deep-seated conflicts, financial disputes, and the eldest grandson Seong-jin's (Kang Seung-ho) reluctance to inherit the business. Director Oh Jung-min's assured debut is a beautifully lensed portrait of modern Korean family dynamics, earning high praise for its blend of humor and melancholy. Its critical success was capped by a major award win, claiming Best Film at the 34th Buil Film Awards and securing Best New Director for Oh Jung-min at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards.
Directed by Oh Jungmin
Presented in Korean with English subtitles
