The Matter with the Money and the Little Dots

Theme: Pointillism as a Financial Strategy.

In our latest brainstorm session, we refined the concept of the "Pointillism of Capital." It's not just an aesthetic gimmick for the film; it's a profound analysis of how power works today.

• The Theory: Large, scandalous sums are eye-catching. Many small, "harmless" tranches create a shimmering surface that conceals the true intention.
• The Application: We see this in Heidi Horten's 49,000-euro donations just as much as in Helmut's systematic acquisitions of smaller stores.

This will be the visual leitmotif of the film: The camera starts very close to a "dot" (a coin, a signature) and slowly zooms out until the enormous, almost overwhelming picture of the Horten empire becomes visible.
