600 Euros (France)

During the French presidential campaign in the spring of 2012 and in a climate characterized by the rise of the extreme right, some, like Marco, move away from politics and no longer vote. Both disappointed by politicians and mired in financial problems, Marco gradually turns his back on our society. Approaching forty, he takes stock of his life and realizes that he has not achieved his goals.

600 euros will be preceded by the short film:

Immigration Sans Issue (France)

An anonymous man, who seems to be of immigrant descent, wanders alone in the streets of Paris. Sometimes, he scribbled few words on a notepad. A voice is heard in the background in the form of a Slam poem, revealing the life of the man; his experiences, motivations, his failures and his only goal in life.
