Ji-woong is a loser who can't find a job so he lies to his mother for money, but one day she abruptly cuts him off and he becomes homeless. That same day, salvation arrives in the form of Hong-sil who's extremely stingy. Her hobby is visiting the bank to make savings deposits, and her specialty is selling empty glass bottles and old newspapers for cash.

VIBE

This film feels like a quirky, awkward rom-com about two eccentric individuals navigating life and love. It's a lighthearted, sometimes cringey, but ultimately endearing look at finding connection in unexpected places.
