Synopsis

JAY, a guest house staff member who works at a guest house during the day and trades virtual currency in a workroom in bed at night. He wants to escape from the guest house staff life, so to make money by manipulating the market price, he plans to "deliberately drop the price of coins and raise it again on the promised day." He receives investment not only from his friends but also from BAN-DAL, a long-term guest at the guest house, but the movement of the coin chart is unusual.

 

Director's Note

Even if you know it's dangerous, even if you saw someone lose everything.

As long as I don't lose myself, I don't let only those who are different from them get out of the yoke. Why do we have no choice but to cling to invisible 'virtual' money? Will the invisible rope really take us ‘to the moon’?
