We Are the Nobles
dir. Gary Alazraki · 2013
Being alive means facing challenges and growing through adversity, regardless of one's background or privilege.
"We Are the Nobles" is a hilarious and heartwarming exploration of privilege and personal growth as the Nobles navigate a financial scandal that forces them into the real world. This film combines sharp social commentary with comedic moments, making it a must-watch for anyone who has ever felt lost in the pursuit of adulthood.
Tells the "riches to rags" story of the Nobles, three upper-class twenty-somethings that appear to have no limits to their checkbooks, and no direction in their lives. Until one day, their father tries to teach them a lesson by staging a financial scandal that forces the whole family to escape to an old house in the poor side of town, and leads the "kids" to do what they haven't done before: get jobs.
