Generazione Mille Euro

Generazione Mille Euro (Italy, 2009) dir. Massimo Venier

Matteo has a PhD in physics but works in a marketing firm in Milan, a job he hates and which he is sure he will soon be fired from. His situation is similar to that of many young Italians who live on €1000 a month- no mean feat in an expensive city like Milan. Matteo’s relationships with his best friend, Francesco (a cinema projectionist), Beatrice (a struggling teacher), and Angelica (a manager in the company he works for), are explored in the film.

The film features a number of scenes set in the marketing firm and shows strategy meetings, the design and launch of a major campaign, and the boss-worker relationship within the company.
