Monique and Michel Pinçon-Charlot are French sociologists famous for their work on the super-rich. In love for more than 50 years, they could enjoy a comfortable retirement, but how can you rest when you are fighting capitalism? For more than 20 years, these upper-middle-class sociologists have been studying a social class that has been left out of scientific research: the wealthy bourgeoisie. The couple applied the concepts of Pierre Bourdieu, analyzing the lifestyle of the upper middle class from the point of view of its various forms of capital, economic, of course, but also social, cultural and symbolic. "This movie shows a relationship that I personally wish for. Uncompromising and anti-capitalist and with a lot of love." (Sooner curator Alina Yklymova) "This documentary is a vivid and compelling portrait of the Pinçon-Charlot couple. It skillfully combines the intimate with the collective, painting the picture of a revolting France under Macron's presidency through the eyes of these two energetic people with irrepressible energy."
