Cosmopolis

Eric Packer, an unemployed multi-billionaire from Manhattan, decides to go for a haircut at his long-time and regular barber. It is a challenging journey due to traffic congestion from the three major events in Manhattan. Eric’s trek takes place mostly in his limousine. He also meets several business associates, some of them with more obscure job titles like Head of Theory. And, of course, his personal friends, Elise (a rich woman) with whom he has an uneasy relationship. Eric’s day begins differently from the ending. His personal fortune is largely dependent on external forces. He learns who it is and why. –Huggo
