Property Is No Longer a Theft
A young bank teller suffers from a rare and literal allergy to paper money, breaking out in hives upon touching banknotes. His best customer, a wealthy and unscrupulous butcher, amasses fortune through shady dealings. When the teller's fragile principles clash with the butcher's greed, their professional relationship erupts into an absurd battle of wills. Armed with stacks of cash as both weapon and irritant, they engage in a escalating war of sarcasm and provocation. This situational comedy twists financial corruption into farce, where rebelling against the system becomes a personal, almost physical, ordeal.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film expertly walks the line between dark comedy and social satire, using its absurd premise to deliver sharp commentary on money and morality. The director shows restraint, letting the actors' performances and ironic dialogue drive the narrative forward.
What lingers after the credits is the clever escalation of a bizarre conflict, where the physical world is literally hostile to the protagonist. It's a stylish, biting parable about the cost of integrity in a corrupt system, told with a smirk rather than a sermon. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Elio Petri
Best Watched
Dry irony, tense silences in the bank hall, the scent of cash as a palpable threat.
