Synopsis

"Our Money" is a journey into the complex and fragile universe of money. People have created it for themselves, believe in it and have been closely connected to it ever since. Money makes them free and rich, but also poor and fragile.  Over the centuries, the money system has become so complex that even insiders admit that nobody can fully understand it.

By meeting people who tell from different perspectives what money means to them and how they use it, the question ultimately arises: Do we serve money or does it serve us? Personal experiences, emotions and financial necessities compete with the pressure of permanent value creation. Driven by opposing attitudes and carried by travellings that visualize the never-ending flow of money, the film invites us to rethink our relationship to money and at the same time pays tribute to those who question it and assert themselves in it.
