The film’s title is jargon for money and the film itself is a skilfully edited comedy thriller about the circulation of this mystic substance. The driving force of the plot is a coveted small suitcase containing a million Euro in cash. As if in mockery of its effect on people it easily moves from one owner to the next and thus deriding aspects of the human character such as greed and blind confidence. The film’s authors incidentally make us acquainted with representatives of various social strata of society. No romanticism, no moral: Simply a description of rather primitive and cynical characters.
