House of Hummingbird follows the life of Eun-hee, a 14-year-old middle school girl, as she copes with growing up in the development-obsessed Seoul of the mid-1990s. Director Bora Kim was the same age as the protagonist during that time and makes use of autobiographical details to flesh out the character of Eun-hee. The specific details of time and place anchor a more universal story about the struggles of early adolescence. In Korean with English subtitles.
