Warning: Spoilers
Martin is an Economy teacher, one day, he win the biggest prize given on TV: 3 million € in objects; that is to say, a new luxurious mansion, 5 cars, a yacht, a plane... But he has not the money to keep everything. He should sell something, but the greed of his wife and the thirst of money of his lawyer will make them to ask the bank for money to keep everything, which will ruin his life, as the bank is not going to put things easy... The movie, filmed in a very curious way, with very short shots, like a music video, it quite daring, and it criticize our economy system with energy. Anyway, most of the thing that happen are a little too much exaggerated and it results very unreliable. Should the main character had been a few more thoughtful, would he arrived to a better way to act, but, well, then there would not have been a movie. At most moments it is like a economics class rather than a movie, the result is quite disappointing and only the talent of Sbaraglia as the main character gives a ray of light to quality in the film. The filming is daring, but it is clear that it is from a novice. It wants to tell so many things that is not able to explain anything correctly. There better movies, maybe on next, the director makes a better job. He seems to have the talent, not the experience.
