Overview
Talking Money is an observational documentary shot at bank consultation tables all over the world. Weaving stories from eight countries into one global money conversation, it virtually transforms the cinema into a bank. Purely experiential! Who are we when we talk about money? Far from the glamour of distant Wall Street, this is the reality of personal banking, where one’s life problems become a matter of business. A heartfelt comment on capitalism revealing how the invisible power of money works on all of us, no matter who and where we are.
