Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring
Film screening
As the seasons pass, we follow a young boy learning from a monk in a floating temple in the middle of a lake.
Through five tableaus, the film depicts the cycle of the seasons. In the first spring, we meet a monk and a young boy. The monk teaches the boy some fundamental ethical and philosophical principles, and their relationship forms the heart of the film. Then a young woman comes to live on the boat for health reasons, and new ethical questions—and romance—arise. The boy is becoming a man.
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring is an exceptional film that made a strong impression on audiences when it was screened, first at Film fra Sør and later in Norwegian cinemas in 2004.
