Film Description:
In a near-future Seoul, algorithms decide everything — what to eat,
where to go, and even who to love.
The male protagonist, a creature of the system like everyone around him,
is matched with a woman at 95% compatibility. But the moment a 98%
match appears on her screen, she leaves without hesitation. Walking home
through a city full of people absorbed in their own algorithmic worlds,
he feels the emptiness of a connection that never really existed.
Then, unexpectedly, a café. Warm, strange, unlike anything the algorithm
would have recommended.
Inside, he meets her — the female protagonist, a café owner who pushes
her own handwritten special menu in front of him before he can open an
app, whose recommendations make no logical sense, and whose energy is
somehow both chaotic and completely disarming. He fixes things around
her café without being asked. She notices. Small moments accumulate into
something neither of them can quite name.
Then the algorithm speaks: 23% compatibility.
What will become of the two of them?
