Seasons of the Year
These films are bound together by a specific calendar season or holiday window that shapes everything happening inside them, whether it's a sun-drenched summer of first love and messy friendship, a cursed autumn month haunted by spirits, or a wintry season of grief slowly thawing. The season isn't just backdrop; it's a pressure system that forces characters toward reckonings they'd otherwise avoid, from a teenager's midsummer heartbreak to a mother's race against a departing train. Whether comic or devastating, each story treats its season as a finite, charged window in which identity, love, or loss must be confronted before the year turns.
