Filmhouse/New Kalamata Cinema Club-HUMAN CAPITAL-IL CAPITALE UMANO
Spread the word
A nighttime bicycle accident on the outskirts of an Italian city becomes the starting point for a multifaceted narrative. Parents, children, businesspeople, and workers are connected through an event that reveals the social inequalities and hidden agreements within an entire community.
Paolo Virzì adopts a multi-layered narrative, in which each chapter illuminates a different perspective on the same event. Money, ambition and class position determine not only actions, but also the value attributed to human life.
With cold precision and deep social sensitivity, the film turns into a harsh satire of modern Europe, posing the question: What is real human capital?
