In this episode, Alain Elkann reflects on his novel 'Money Must Stay in the Family' and the source material that inspired him to write it: his own family history. Featuring previously unreleased archival home movies from the 1930s and 1940s, the short film traces the line that runs from Elkann's grandparents' experience as Jewish refugees in wartime New York, to the multi-generational saga of love, loss, and discovery portrayed in the novel.
