What is the value of a single human life? On a wet winter night in Italy's affluent north, a waiter is run off the road and killed, entwining the fates of two families of very different social standing. Set against the aftermath of the European economic crash, secrets are everywhere, but vanity and greed are in plain view in a world where a person's value is measured in euros. Based on the novel by Stephen Amidon, Human Capital is at once an engrossing murder mystery and a biting commentary on European capitalism. As the circumstances surrounding the man's death are examined and re-examined from multiple perspectives, director Paolo Virzi maintains knife-edge tension as deceptions and cover-ups slowly give way to the truth.
