- Synopsis
- The Ma family lives in Gangnam District, a wealthy borough in Seoul, yet they can't afford the rent and barely keep their bills in check. Once thriving in the real estate business during South Korea's 1980s economic boom, they refuse to accept the reality that they can no longer maintain their upper-middle-class lifestyle. In her feature documentary debut, Minji Ma turns the camera on her economically and emotionally dysfunctional family as they hope that the financial crisis of 1997 will somehow reverse itself before it's too late.
