Synopsis

 

Lesbian couple Sun-woo and Hee-suh. dream of a stable living environment and buy a small apartment, which they’ve put everything for. But when Sun-woo loses her job and injures her leg in the recession, their relationship begins to sour while Hee-suh is sorely responsible for paying the mortgage and interest.

Director's Note

 

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.
