Capitalism? Let me give it a try.

Sun Hobin is an incapable family man. While working part-time jobs with an unstable income, he meets Lee Sangtae, a college senior. Together with Sangtae who holds MBA from UCLA, Hobin produces YouTube videos on stock. He opens his first stock account and participates in the money game. Encouraged by his short-term success, he sells his house and uses his credit card to increase his stakes. He bets himself and his family’s future on the stock market.
A year later, the war in Ukraine breaks out.

I am an independent filmmaker. But most of my time is filled with money-making activities. As an independent filmmaker, I criticize society and shed light on marginalized people, but I can’t save my own life. Looking at my elementary school student son, I feel extremely depressed.
This is the life I chose. I thought there was something more important than money, and I pursued the value. My son will pay the price. He won’t have the same life choices I had. My father was a middle class with a stable job. I’m a freelancer who has to plan for next month’s expenses every time.
I’ve changed a bit now. I want money.
I want to share my fears, greed, and ethical concerns with the audience. I believe that to see the contradictions of the Gig Economy, we need to look at a family, not a factory or a parliament.
