Synopsis:
Set in a town in Brianza and in Milan the film begins at the end. Approaching a snowy night from three vastly different perspectives, the lives of two generations overlap as they tumble toward an ill-fated event that inextricably links them:
It was the night before Christmas when a waiter cycling home from a work at a gala at a prestigious private school is hit by a car and the driver flees, leaving the badly injured waiter lying in the street. The next day, two well-known families in the city are involved in the case of the waiter, who is hospitalized near death.
Il Capitale Umano (Human Capital) twists love, class, and ambition into a singular, true-life story that exposes the consequences of valuing certain human lives over others.
