Synopsis

Koko sees an opportunity in his uncle's apartment and begins renting out its rooms. The tenants bring different expectations and habits into a shared space that was never arranged to accommodate them together. His scheme gradually turns a private home into a crowded source of confusion, with the young man's improvised management helping to multiply the problems.
