If I wasn't poor, you wouldn't be rich - the million-dollar lottery
The phrase "You don't talk about money" is a long-established, power-preserving prime example of our social relationship with money. Some people are ashamed of not having any and others who do have it don't talk about it.

So how far apart are the realities of life in Germany's most expensive city?
"TODAY I EARN AROUND 1 MILLION EUROS GROSS. SO I WOULD COUNT MYSELF AS UPPER MIDDLE CLASS." (F. MÄRZ)
In an absurd competition show, different characters meet and have to balance solidarity and self-entitlement. In various games, they not only win quick money, but also discuss possibilities of use and distribution. The outstanding winnings can be life-changing or society-changing for everyone involved.

Director Demjan Duran devotes himself to the Munich cliché topic: money.
With an ensemble of Munich residents aged between 12 and 65, the intergenerational group examines their financial circumstances.
