A cinematic gem from Korea, “Our Season,” is poised to captivate Filipino audiences with its compelling storyline and emotional depth thanks to Viva International Pictures and MVP Entertainment.

Hailed as a “healing fantasy film,” it narrates the poignant tale of a deceased mother who is granted a heavenly respite to reunite with her daughter. Back in its origin country, it has garnered acclaim and captured hearts of many people.

This film, which is now showing across the Philippines, promises to offer a unique and touching experience to Filipino moviegoers, especially for those seeking a heartfelt and unforgettable movie watching experience.

Portrayed by the esteemed Kim Hae-sook of “Thirst” and “The Thieves” fame, Bok-ja embarks on a three-day earthly sojourn on the anniversary of her passing, accompanied by a vigilant “Guide” tasked with overseeing her visit’s adherence to celestial protocols. However, Bok-ja’s elation at reuniting with her daughter, Jin-ju, portrayed by Shin Min-a, is tempered by disappointment as she discovers her daughter’s unexpected return to their hometown instead of residing in America as anticipated.

Jin-ju, a professor at a prestigious American university, finds solace in reviving her late mother’s cherished restaurant and preserving her culinary legacy. As Bok-ja yearns to communicate her desires to Jin-ju, she grapples with the limitations imposed by her spectral form, guided only to cherish the fleeting moments of happiness.

Helmed by the acclaimed director Yook Sang-hyo, renowned for “Inseparable Brothers,” “Our Season” promises a deeply resonant exploration of familial bonds and unspoken sentiments. Penned by Yu Young-ah, the creative force behind “Miracle in Cell No. 7,” the film is imbued with a heartfelt sincerity, inviting audiences to reflect on life’s regrets and cherish the connections that endure beyond the veil of mortality.

With its evocative narrative and stellar performances, “Our Season” emerges as a cinematic ode to love, loss, and the enduring power of memory. As the film unfolds, audiences are invited to embark on a poignant journey of reconciliation and understanding.

“Our Season” opened in theaters nationwide on March 13, exclusively in SM Cinemas.
