MS. APOCALYPSE

In 1999, Young-mi, an awkward bookkeeper at a tech factory, finds herself in a quandary as she develops a secret crush on a delivery driver named Do-young. When she discovers he has been embezzling company funds, she decides to cover for him. However, Do-young has a change of heart and turns himself in, leading them both to end up in jail. After Young-mi is released, she meets Yu-jin, Do-young’s wife, who is paralyzed from the neck down.

Yu-jin makes Young-mi a compelling offer that sets the stage for a complex and emotionally charged journey ahead. Ms. Apocalypse is a bittersweet story of unrequited love, a testament to new beginnings, and an example of how our darkest days don’t have to be the end of the world.
