You can stream A Tale of Springtime (1990) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

The story of an introverted young girl just reaching adulthood who takes a liking to an older woman she meets at a party and determines to match her off with her father, despite the latter's already having a lover of his own.

Driven by a sudden, intense fascination with an elegant stranger, a quiet young girl orchestrates a misguided matchmaking scheme to bridge the gap between her father and a new idol. This delicate character study captures the clumsy, often irrational impulses of a girl navigating the threshold of womanhood.
