Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace prize winner, is known in the whole world as the banker of the poor, because he pioneered and tested a funding system in Bangladesh: by lending little sums of money to the less well-off with no interest, and returning it by installments gained with their work, people are able to get free from extreme misery. Thus, what can happen if three boys, just graduated, who live in Naples, try to import this funding system that subverts every economic rule?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative on the clash between a global, almost utopian idea and its implementation on the specific, vibrant soil of Naples. It relies on the lightness of comedy to explore serious themes of social inequality, trust, and human solidarity without becoming overly didactic.

What lingers after the credits is a warm, life-affirming feeling that small initiatives can create meaningful change, even if not exactly as planned. A charming tale about the human side of economics. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Lina Wertmüller
