Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter...and Spring

On a lake set in a valley in the depths of the mountains sits an isolated dwelling. Here, a Buddhist monk and his young apprentice live in harmony with nature. As the seasons change and the years pass, the carefree child apprentice becomes a young man filled with desire. Despite the continuing wisdom that his master imparts, the young man finds he is emotionally unprepared for the arrival of a young woman. Dealing with feelings of guilt and jeolousy, he is forced to confront a darker side of his nature and, resolving to cleanse himself, he serves a penance in the form of a religous mantra. Later, as winter comes and death makes way for new life, the man prepares to take on the role of teacher...

Breathtaking and visually arresting, Kim Ki-duk's unique and exquisite exploration of the human condition and its infinite complexities is one of the most captivating and thought-provoking films ever made.
