• The film is divided into five segments (the 5 seasons of the title), each segment depicting a dissimilar stage in the life of a Buddhist monk (each segment is roughly ten to twenty years apart, and is physically in the center of its titular season).

  Jump Nosotros are introduced the of the very immature Buddhist amateur with his master on a small floating monastery, globe-trotting on a lake in the serene forested mountains of Korea. The amateur and his master alive a basic life of prayer and meditation, using an old rowboat to achieve the banking concern of the lake where they regularly become walking, for exercise and to collect herbs. One 24-hour interval, in a creek amongst the rocky hills, the amateur torments a fish by tying a small-scale stone to it with string and laughing equally information technology struggles to swim. Shortly after, he does the same to a frog and a serpent; his master quietly observes on all iii occasions, and that nighttime ties a large, smooth rock to the apprentice as he sleeps. In the morning, he tells his apprentice that he cannot take off the stone until he unties the creatures he tormented - adding that if any of them have died, he will "comport the stone in his heart forever". The male child struggles with the load on his back through the forest, and finds the fish, lying expressionless on the bottom of the creek, finds the frog still alive and struggling where he left information technology, and finds the snake in a pool of blood, presumably attacked and killed by another animal, unable to get abroad. The principal watches equally the male child begins to cry heavily upon seeing what he has done to the snake.

  Summertime The apprentice (now in his teenage years) encounters a female parent and daughter (dressed in mod clothes, indicating that the motion-picture show takes place in modern times) walking along the forest path, looking for the lake monastery. The amateur silently greets them and rows them across the lake to the monastery, where it is revealed that the daughter has an unspecified illness (she displays symptoms of a fever) and has been brought to the Buddhist principal by her mother, hoping that she will exist healed. The principal agrees to accept in the teenage girl for a fourth dimension, and the mother leaves. Over the side by side few days, the apprentice finds himself sexually attracted to the girl, but is besides shy to say anything; withal, when he finds her sleeping in forepart of the Buddha statue, he is unable to resist groping her chest. She wakes up and slaps him, and in a guilty panic the amateur begins to pray incessantly, something his master notes as strange. The girl seems to forgive him however; somewhen, the two wander off into the forest lonely and have sex. They echo the act over the side by side few nights, hiding their relationship from the master, until he discovers them asleep and naked, drifting around the lake in the rowboat. He wakes them up by pulling the plug out of the boat. Rather than expressing anger or disappointment, he merely warns his apprentice that "lust leads to desire for possesion, and possesion leads to murder", only does tell him that the girl volition have to leave. The apprentice reacts emotionally to this, and in the middle of the night runs away from the monastery in pursuit of the girl, taking the monastery's Buddha statue with him.

  Fall Many years subsequently, in "Fall" (or "Autumn"), the aging master returns from a supply run to the local village, and by chance glimpses a warrant for the arrest of his sometime apprentice, wanted for the murder of his wife. Foreseeing the apprentice's return, he modifies the teenage monk garments by hand, and soon afterward the adult apprentice appears in the spiritual door at the lake'southward edge, yet full of anger and carrying the bloodstained pocketknife with which he stabbed his wife. Unwilling to go on, he seals his eyes, mouth and nose in a suicide ritual and sits in front of the newly returned Buddha statue, waiting for expiry; the primary discovers him, and beats him ruthlessly, professing that while he may have killed his wife, he will not impale himself so easily. He ties his bloodied apprentice to the ceiling and sets a candle to slowly burn through the rope, then begins painting "Heart Sutra" on i side of the monastery deck, past dipping his cat's tail into a tin of black paint. The apprentice eventually falls, and beginning his repentance, cuts his pilus off and starts etching the Chinese characters out of the wood. As he carves and the master paints, two detectives arrive at the monastery and attempt to arrest the apprentice, but the chief asks them to allow him cease his chore. The apprentice continues without stopping, and collapses into sleep immediately upon finishing. Seemingly influenced by the soothing presence of the master, the detectives help the old monk paint his apprentice'south carvings in orange, green, blue and purple. The apprentice finally wakes up, and is taken away past the detectives. Afterward they leave, the main, knowing he is at his end, builds a pyre in the rowboat. He seals his ears, optics, nose and mouth with paper in the same suicide ritual and meditates as he is suffocated and burned to decease. One can run into the tracks of his tears in the paper seals as flames engulf him.

  Winter The centre-aged apprentice returns to the frozen lake and to his former dwelling house, which has been drifting uninhabited for years. He finds his principal's dress, laid out just before his death, and digs his master'south remains out of the frozen rowboat, setting them to rest in the Buddha statue nether a waterfall. He finds a book of choreographic meditative stances, and begins to train and exercise relentlessly in the freezing weather. Eventually, a woman comes to the monastery with her infant son and a shawl wrapped around her face. She seeks to get out her son with the monk and flee, just equally she tries to leave in the middle of the night, she stumbles into a hole in the water ice the monk dug earlier and drowns. Finding her body the next mean solar day causes him to tie the monastery'due south large, circular stone to his body and climb to the summit of the tallest surrounding mountain belongings another statue, which he places there.

  ...and Jump Finally, returning to "Jump", the wheel is completed: the new master lives in the monastery with the abandoned baby, now his amateur. The boy is shown to torment a tortoise and, wandering into the rocky hills, echoes his predecessor, forcing stones into the mouths of a fish, frog and serpent.
