Human Capital

In Marc Meyers's film, an impulsive business deal brings together two families from across the social divide, with tragic consequences. As perspectives shift between parents and children, a real estate agent gambles with his livelihood, a wealthy housewife confronts the void in her life, and a teenage girl falls deeply in love for the first time. A nuanced character study, Human Capital highlights the moral conflicts between sacrifice and self-preservation in today's capitalistic society.
