Synopsis
A melodrama with suspense. Two friends who went to the same girl’s high school find their lives intertwined in so many ways due to their colliding ambitions. In “Home Sweet Home” a married couple who have reached their 10th wedding anniversary find themselves locked in a battle that is similar to the tensions in the Hollywood movie, “War of the Roses.” Finding it unbearable to deal with the irreconcilable differences that she has with her husband, she wishes that her husband would just drop dead. During their frequent fights, they learn an invaluable lesson about life and marriage. So the story in “Home of Joy” tries to show how marriages work when two partners work together and the institution of marriage itself is not a reservoir of instant happiness as people think a marriage should be so.
