Minji Ma’s Family in the Bubble is a personal story touching on issues around class, wealth and barriers to upward mobility. Ma’s parents were successful real estate developers and dealers in the 1980s but lost everything 15 years ago during the Asian financial crisis. Fixated by real estate as a means to accumulate wealth, the couple continues to speculate about the next real estate boom, despite poor finances and a forthcoming move from their rented home.
