IT'S BETTER TO BE WEALTHY AND HEALTHY THAN POOR AND ILL

Symposium

Nona, a Slovakian, and Ester, a Czech, meet in November 1989. They become inseparable friends. To get closer to their dreams of money and fortune, they try their luck as “entrepreneurs” on a “free market” where you can trade everything from porn to video cameras, butter and hand-grenades to your own body. Just when they have earned their first million, Nona’s ex-boyfriend Robert shows up. Complications ensue…
