Asian Premiere
2014 Goteborg Film Festival
Best friends Ankan and Monkan finally have a shot at their first apartment rental lease. To get the lease, they need a cash deposit and a permanent job - which is difficult when you just turned twenty, you\'re selling mobile phone plans and your parents are not millionaires. During a summer day in Malmo, Ankan and Monkan need to get hold of 7,500 kronor while also selling enough mobile plans to get a permanent job position with Tele Wow. There is a lot of pressure on their shoulders.
Two 20-year-old best friends, Ankan and Monkan, are on a search for an apartment to live on their own. To sign a lease, they need a deposit and a stable job, but these are not easy conditions for them since their parents are not rich. In the midst of their search, a telecommunications agent offers them permanent positions if they sell a certain number of cell phones. It's not easy to sell the products, the pressure is unimaginably overwhelming, and for these two clumsy novices, finding a job and an apartment becomes almost a \"Mission Impossible." A comic yet serious masterpiece that deals with the issues of independence, job and apartment search keenly yet warmly. [CHO HyeYoung]
