Set in a city centre branch of a city bank, the film depicts a love affair between a young career-track man and a woman in a general employment position over an on-the-job marriage. The film reflected the world at the end of the economic bubble, with men in career-track positions at major city banks as symbols of the elite and the economic boom in terms of bad loans and other unforeseen aspects of the economy. The film provides an insight into the elites of the bubble era, including the romance between a handsome young male career-track employee of a major city bank and a female general staff member, the in-branch affair between an outstanding corporate loan section manager and a female general staff member, and the depiction of Christmas Eve as the biggest event of the year for lovers and the human drama surrounding the day.
