A Barefoot Dream
When retired professional soccer player Kim Won-kang visits East Timor, he discovers kids playing the game barefoot on rocky fields. This is after a string of pipe dream endeavors fail. After learning that there isn't a single sports goods outlet in the entire nation, he recognizes a fresh business opportunity and starts a scheme to get rich quick by selling athletic shoes to the children who aren't wearing shoes. Unfortunately, no one there can afford $60 shoes, even on a generous installment plan, and before he knows it, he is coaching a team of ragged 10-year-olds and prospects are gloomy.
