Plot

Seven individuals navigate life in the starkly divided landscapes of the US and UK, where the wealthiest 0.1% hold as much as the bottom 90%. Their intertwined stories reveal the pervasive influence of economic disparity on every facet of existence. As they confront their struggles, the film sheds light on the societal pressures shaped by this widening chasm. Drawing inspiration from Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett's "The Spirit Level," it paints a poignant picture of inequality and its far-reaching consequences on everyday lives.
