Synopsis


The future is knocking. Between bold ambitions and unsettling doubts, young people reveal themselves in a guidance counselor’s office.

A word from Tënk


Make Money, Find Meaning, Don’t Panic stands out for its great sensitivity and precision. Starting from a simple premise—a reflection on direction and the future—the narrative manages to paint a portrait of a generation marked by uncertainty, anxiety, and doubt. In just a few minutes, and with a remarkably well-crafted three-act structure, the film draws us into the intimate world of deeply endearing young protagonists. The cinematography, the polaroid aesthetic, and the music with 1980s undertones add a creative dimension that perfectly supports the storytelling. With accuracy and empathy, the film captures the fragility, the questions, and the beauty of a generation searching for its bearings.
