In Los Angeles, Theresa, Robert and their daughter spend their days setting up petty scams to survive.
These three, on perpetual alert, look less like a family than a perfectly coordinated gang, communicating by signs and scrupulously sharing their very meager thefts in threes.
When their path crosses that of the pretty Mélanie, who decides to help them, their trio will be put to the test ...
Kajillionaire
- which means “billionaire” in slang - features those left behind in an America that is no longer going round.
The film also questions family relationships, showing how poverty can dry up bonds, or on the contrary strengthen them.
Original, funny and touching, this comedy, Miranda July's third, is the most successful to date.
As if the filmmaker had matured.
Under wacky scenarios and completely surreal adventures, Miranda July now hides real feelings.
