Hana, who works as a labourer in a food processing plant, toils hard in keeping with the company’s motto: “Just keep working.” After finishing a gruelling day’s work, she returns home to the small apartment where her grandmother is sleeping.

Bug is a short film that examines the harsh economic reality facing the younger generation of today and uses fantasy as a device to comment on their circumstances.
