How to Beat the High Cost of Living

  • Log in or register to post comments

In a city where the cost of living soars and the economic crisis hits everyone, three characters find themselves trapped in the same struggle to get ahead. The first is an ordinary man, tired of working without rewards, who, exhausted from the routine, begins to wonder how he can regain control of his financial life. His path crosses with that of a single mother who, desperate to provide a better future for her children, makes complicated decisions to make ends meet. Together, they decide to join forces and seek unconventional ways to tackle their economic problems.

On the other hand, there is a bold and charismatic woman who has learned to survive using her wit and cunning. She introduces the pair to a world of possibilities that go beyond the legal and moral. As the three of them become embroiled in their own risky plan to escape debt, they face a series of hilarious and dangerous situations that test their limits and their friendship.

With a tone that balances comedy and drama, the film reflects the frustrations and hopes of a generation seeking alternatives to survive in a system that seems to be against them. In the end, what begins as a simple quest for financial solutions transforms into a journey of self-discovery and camaraderie, where the value of friendship turns out to be the true prize.
