Swimming in Money or How We Went Down Together

About This Movie

Swimming in Money or How We Went Down Together is a tense exploration of familial greed following Hilde's death. The atmosphere is thick with resentment and entitlement as the family convenes at the sprawling estate. Bitterness bubbles to the surface, and the pacing captures the awkwardness of their interactions perfectly—each scene feels like a ticking clock. The performances are raw, almost unrefined, which gives a certain authenticity to the characters' dysfunction. The film doesn’t shy away from showcasing the darker sides of human nature, which is what makes it stand out. It's not just about the inheritance, but the unraveling of bonds and the chaos that money can incite among those who are supposed to love each other.
