1000 Cups to Midnight (2021)

In an attempt to save their declining shop, entrepreneur Lucas and his oddball staff members have to sell 1000 cups of bubble tea within 48 hours and prove their value to obnoxious landlord Jacky. The staff of Best Bubble Tea needs to win the challenge over the weekend, or risk eviction from their premises. As the countdown to midnight begins, they grapple with low sales, low traffic, low self-esteem, but they won’t stop until they have saved the shop... and their jobs.
