Dream Home was filmed entirely in Hong Kong and tells the story of a young woman who goes over the edge when she discovers that she can no longer afford the home of her dreams. She has to work hard at two full-time jobs, and she even goes as far as stealing customer data to sell to other companies. However, no matter how much she toils, she cannot earn enough to keep up with the ever-increasing values of Hong Kong’s real estate. With her father terminally ill and medical expenses rising, she decides to make a fateful choice for her family: to let her father die and cash in his insurance. When even the insurance money proves to not be enough, it dawns on her: in order to get what she wants, she realizes she must take matters into her own hands. Even if it means getting her hands seriously bloody.
