After nearly a decade together, Seonwoo and Heeseo — now in their early thirties — have finally built a home in a modest apartment on the outskirts of Seoul. But when Seonwoo loses her job due to an injury, the pressure of being the sole provider pushes Heeseo to the edge, especially as she remains closeted at work and to her family.

As financial stress threatens their relationship, Seonwoo becomes consumed by a mysterious, unbearable odor seeping from the apartment below. Her search for answers leads her into the story of the woman known only as “The Flowerpot Lady,” a tenant who died alone and unnoticed. As Seonwoo spirals deeper into obsession, uncovering the real story of the woman below, Heeseo begins to unravel in her own silence and isolation. 

With striking sensitivity and a quiet urgency, Lucky, Apartment explores the emotional toll of love under pressure — from societal expectations to personal demons. In her stunning narrative feature debut, director Kangyu Garam captures the claustrophobia of modern life and the resilience required to hold on to love when everything seems to be slipping away. Lucky, Apartment is a haunting and intimate portrait of lasting love.
