Springtime (Korean: 꽃피는 봄이 오면; RR: Ggotpineun bomi omyeon; lit.

When Spring Comes) is a 2004 South Korean film starring Choi Min-sik as a struggling musician who takes a job as a music teacher in a rural mining town outside of Seoul.

To trumpeter Hyun-woo, life seems to remain forever locked in winter.

In desperation, Hyunwoo signs up for a position teaching a children's wind ensemble at a small junior high school in a distant Dogye village.

Worn-out instruments, tarnished trophies and frayed certificates testify to the poor conditions of this ragtag group.
