Private Project

Love and Money

After the sudden death of their wealthy patriarch, three feuding siblings reunite at the family estate expecting a generous inheritance, only to be blindsided when the entire fortune is left to the seemingly unassuming maid. As tensions escalate and old wounds resurface, the maid reveals a hidden romance that quietly unfolded within the walls of the manor. Through a series of intimate flashbacks, we discover a love built on quiet devotion, respect and a shared secret. Love and Money blends dark humour, familial dysfunction, and gothic romance to explore the unexpected price of love and the bitter cost of inheritance.
