What happens when your life savings go on a "business trip" without you?

In Daniel Glattauer’s sharp-witted comedy Love Money (Die Liebe Geld), Alfred faces a Kafkaesque nightmare at his local bank. All he wants is enough cash to buy a wedding anniversary gift, but the ATM refuses to cooperate. When he seeks help, the absurdity only escalates: his bank advisor insists his money is merely traveling, and the eccentric bank director would rather discuss philosophy and "human connections" than anything as mundane as finance. As the "bank of the future" tries to sell him a vision rather than his own balance, Alfred’s wife, Ulli, finds herself unexpectedly charmed by this new corporate empathy. Glattauer brilliantly satirizes the modern financial world, exploring the comical gap between human needs and the abstract language of money.
