CENT MILLE MILLIARDS, 2024

France | DCP, Color, 77’ | French
Director: Virgil Vernier
Cast: Zakaria Bouti, Mina Gajovic, Victoire Kong

Bringing the viewer into the lives of young escorts in Monaco, a city full of luxury and hidden struggles, the film questions the role of its characters—especially Afine—in this materialistic world. It explores the contrast between the allure of wealth and emotional disconnection, the existentialism that is in our heads today, and the search for meaning. With its visual language and dialogues, the glittering surface of Monaco serves as a powerful metaphor for inner emptiness in director Virgil Vernier's first film, which was shot in an intimate style.
