Happiness is getting more expensive... Will I be able to afford it?

A film about the troubles of Korean youths teetering on the edge of poverty, their struggle is to survive the mounting debts and the hopelessness of their situation. Among them is Kim Byung-Seok, an aspiring filmmaker who's stuck in dead-end jobs and his camera is only used for filming weddings. His girlfriend, Jae-Kyung, has trouble finding jobs and is fired for being "too depressing". Although they've coped in the past, recent conflicts and frauds have pushed them to desperation, making the future look bleak.
