The House of Us (2019)
During her fifth-grade summer break, Hana wishes to go on a family trip with her mom, dad, and her junior high brother, Chan. Although the family argues every day, Hana believes everything will be like how it used to be if she could take her family on a vacation, just like the happy family trip picture taken when she was younger. At the same time, Hana meets Yoo-mi and her younger sister Yoo-jin -- each nine and seven years old-- whose parents are always out of town, struggling to make ends meet. As Hana struggles to rebuild her family relationship, Yoo-mi and her sister struggle to secure their home from their landlord who is trying to kick them out. By providing emotional support to each other, Hana, Yoo-mi and Yoo-jin try even harder to save their homes.
