Synopsis

In 2013, four young people who had never known one another met for the first time in Australia, while dreaming of ¡®the jackpot.¡¯ 

In 2022, they met again in Korea and went to see a movie together, after a 10-year absence.
Jongdae, who left Korea with a fool¡¯s hope, has stayed in Australia. He is now under green card review, but he never knows when he can get married until he gets the green card. Heewon, a freelancer PD, works far into the night. Ju-hyun wants to move into a larger room in Seoul but his small income, after subtracting brokerage, makes it impossible. In the meanwhile, Jongdae¡¯s recent situation makes Jonghyun think again regarding skilled immigration, as Jonghyun fell victim to a house rent fraud scheme. They ask again about the true nature of hope which has deceived them for 10 years. This is a self-portrait of the millennial generation both in Korea and in Australia.
