Hong Sang-soo's Hat Trick
In The Novelist's Film, Hong explores the meaningful things people share and inspire by virtue of simply engaging with one another.

Jody (Lauren Young) is the sole breadwinner of her family. She works for a large pharmaceutical company that’s just been accused of illegal human testing. Jody has been tasked with putting a major press conference where the company will deny these claims. Stressed out, she decides to blow off some steam by finally meeting up with a guy she’s been chatting with online. She and Dom (Richard Gutierrez) hit it off, and decide to spend the night together at a hotel. Jody wakes up drugged, however, with a bomb strapped to her torso. Dom tells Jody to set off the bomb at the press conference, or harm will come to her family.
