Philanthropy
Filantropica
2002 · 1h 50m · Comedy, Drama · Romania, France
The extended hand that does not tell a story does not receive alms.
In 21st century Bucharest, to go out in the city on Saturday evening on the arm of a beautiful woman is a risky financial investment. Ovidiu, an unassuming high school teacher, never could afford it. Looking for a source of income more substantial than a teacher's salary, Ovidiu plunges into a fabulous world – the beggar mob.
