L'Escargot (2012)

Other name: Jue Zhai Nan Nu, 缺宅男女

Description:

L'Escargot delves into the lives of a modern family striving for peace amidst the bustling city. The eldest brother, an interior designer, and his wife, a modern housewife, initially seek only a tranquil domestic life. Their aspirations are abruptly disrupted when the eldest must intervene to rescue his second brother from a catastrophic business failure. This urgent situation forces him to put his own career plans on hold, while his wife reluctantly returns to the workforce to help manage the family's mounting financial strain.

Compounding their troubles, the younger sister, hesitant to add to her big brother's burdens, seeks assistance from her supervisor, which unfortunately leads to an ethically problematic relationship. Her actions deeply anger her boyfriend, threatening to sever their bond. Meanwhile, the fourth brother remains largely indifferent, preferring a carefree, paycheck-to-paycheck existence over the responsibilities of homeownership or contributing to the family's plight. These escalating pressures and interconnected challenges ultimately plunge the entire family into a harrowing nightmare.
