18 Youth

Hyunsoo, at eighteen, already understands loss. His father, a taxi driver, vanished on a regular workday, leaving his son with the weight of unspoken words and unpaid bills. The teenager is forced to care for his younger sister, balancing school, part-time jobs, and the search for his father across the vastness of Seoul. This 2026 drama explores not the rebellious spirit of youth, but its premature maturity, when adult decisions must be made on young shoulders. The film becomes a quiet chronicle of loss, responsibility, and the fragile hope that makes Hyunsoo walk the city streets each new morning.
