We live beyond our means - the most fraudulent statement in our recent history serves only to hide the true evils of a country that once dreamed of better days. A country filled with corrupt people that put at stake the welfare state, the protection of minorities, the disadvantaged. There are people in this documentary. Living people who have never lived beyond their means. They lived, at best, under all odds, surviving up the odds. They are people who saw their meager incomes to be reduced, found themselves being evicted from their rooms and houses. They are people of flesh and blood who live day-to-day with the uncertainty of a meal, a night under a ceiling. We live beyond our means, "we were told. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to reality.
