"KAPITAL" (2007) is a Gothic and uncompromising look at the darker crevasses of human nature and society. Following a cross section of characters lives, inter weaved in a mosaic form over the turbulent course of one day, as they all deal with the demons and angels that haunt their harsh realities. An apocalyptic vision of modern day existence.
