''[[Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring]]'' is a 2003 film about an old Buddhist monk who lives in a small floating temple on an isolated lake in Korea. He lives simply, maintaining the modest, yet ornate temple, keeping a few pets, and raising a small boy to be a monk like him.
 
The movie [[Seasonal Motif|cycles through the seasons]] in the same order as the title. The seasons cover not one year, but several, each devoted to a different time in the boy's life: boyhood, teenage years, young adulthood, adulthood, and old age. With each division, the younger monk learns new life lessons, often the hard way, until he eventually finds peace in the simple life his master originally laid out for him.
