Penny Pinchers

Gathered by heart, recycled for love.

Directed by Kim Jung-hwan

Produced by Filament Pictures

A warm, comedic romance about two misfits—a jobless liar and a penny-pinching woman—who find unexpected connection and redemption through shared frugality and mutual care.

Ji-woong is a loser who can't find a job so he lies to his mother for money, but one day she abruptly cuts him off and he becomes homeless. That same day, salvation arrives in the form of Hong-sil who's extremely stingy. Her hobby is visiting the bank to make savings deposits, and her specialty is selling empty glass bottles and old newspapers for cash.
