France, subtitles, 2024, Comedy/Drama
112 mins, Rated M - (strong language)

Both in debt up to their necks, Albert and Bruno have turned to a community worker to try and help get a grip on their lives.

However, at one of their group sessions, the two young men stumble into an adjoining meeting room hosting a group of social activists.

Attracted more by the free beer and food than the group’s struggle to protect the environment, Albert and Bruno join the movement on a whim, thinking it will be easy - but soon find themselves needing to make some serious life decisions.

"A beautiful story with a fabulous energy and enough surprises and twists to keep you pleasantly off-balance." - IMDB

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
