"Win Win Win" tells the story of Miriam, an ambitious student who, on the verge of resisting her mother and independently deciding her future, is invited last-minute to a prestigious contest. She decides to join with two other students. She never expected them to become such a stumbling block. The team opts to attack the contest by re-thinking economics from a relationship angle. But as soon as the contest starts Miriam must learn in practice in what way money and relationships should truly combine. If not, her team falls apart and she loses the opportunity to follow her dream.
