Here's the trailer:

Riding across Manhattan in a stretch limo in order to get a haircut, a 28-year-old billionaire asset manager's day devolves into an odyssey with a cast of characters that start to tear his world apart.

I really enjoyed this movie!

Again, many thanks to @vimukthi for recommending it.

Why did I like it?

• I could imagine someone actually having a strange life like the billinaire in the movie.

• The life, financial,and sexual philosophies portrayed were intriguing.

• My girlfriend has asked me the same questions that the women in the movie asked AND I pretty much responded with the same answers.

• The global shift of wealth and its impact was aptly symbolized by the dead rat movement.

• Although it is stated in the movie that women have a difficulty with being indifferent, I think that goes with most of the average, middle class population.

• Me? I think I'm still hardheaded; strongly inclined with "completing the mission at all costs" - a rather dichotomous mindset at times.

• The movie graphically shows that whatever wealth a person has, he spends it on the pursuit of "feelings" (AKA: the objects and situations to potentially produce those "feelings").

"Your true wealth is your time and freedom. Money is just a tool for trading your time, a container to store your economic energy until you're ready to deploy it."

"Most people focus on getting rich rather than becoming wealthy."

{Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller - architect, futurist, inventor and visionary.)

"Most everyone spend their lives chasing money, but they don't know that it [money] is simply a chimera (an illusion)." - JaiChai

I totally recommend viewing this movie; especially if you like thought provoking ideas and great dialogue.

About the Author

Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.

In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.

After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.

Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).

He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
