Lucky, Apartment is based on a real-life conflict between a longtime same-sex couple and the class differences within the couple over the ‘home’ they are creating. The film attempts to portray the contradictions and hatred in Korean society in a dense and realistic way. The protagonists face the death of a woman downstairs, in an apartment, they moved into with dreams of good fortune and a stable place, but they are confronted with the deeply internalized hatred of minorities in Korean society. Previously a conflict-avoidant couple, they eventually deal with the issues they have been ignoring and grow to the next level. Through this, the film aims to show that attention and solidarity for others can sometimes lead to changes in one’s own life.
