"The documentary" Life Without Money "depicts the life of 68 year old German woman HeideMarie Schwermer, who deliberately chose to stop using money 14 years ago. She cancelled the apartment and sent out all her belongings, leaving only a suitcase filled with clothes. This decision greatly changed her entire worldview. Today, 14 years later, she still has almost no money and claims to be more free and independent than ever before. This movie tells the story of Heidemarie's daily life and showcases the challenges she faces by living a different way of life. HeideMarie often moves, meets new friends, and stays with old and new friends for a few nights. She never worries about the future, she doesn't even worry about where to sleep next week or where to have her next meal. She knows from experience that as long as she is open to what happens, things will always be in her favor. She travels around Germany and often holds lectures on her experiences in Austria, Switzerland, and Italy, trying to convey a message that a more relaxed lifestyle is possible. The act of exchanging favors instead of money has now become a way of life. She always tries to help others find a path to a simpler and more harmonious life. She enjoys the present life instead of focusing on the future. In the movie, we follow Heidemarie's daily life and experience how she searches for food, transportation, and accommodation. In addition to showcasing the challenges she faces every day without money, we can also learn more about HeideMarie's philosophy of life and the reasons behind her choice of this lifestyle. We see that in a society where everything is based on money and a person's value depends on how wealthy they are, it is not only easy for them to live in places without money. The people Heidemary meets on the road often have strong opinions about her lifestyle. Some people refer to her as a 'parasite' and claim that she relies on others to make a living, while others see her as a 'visionary source of inspiration'. Through her story, we can consider the impact of money on our thinking, lifestyle, and behavior, as well as its effects on our own lives, health, and environment. This movie explores these perspectives and reflects themes of materialism and overconsumption.
