Where do we draw the line between altruism and self interest? This is the question Rubikon rather astutely asks. It sets up this moral conundrum in the context of a capitalist corporate society. One where money defines one's place, in the pecking order. Its a reflection increasingly of our own world in the West. One driven by self interest, where altruism typically takes a back seat to "me first." Its interesting then, to see the interplay between characters placed in a microcosm of modern society. How will they react when called upon to sacrifice? How much will they be willing to give up? There's no judgement or condemnation here, nor I feel should there be. This is simply a reflection of who we have become. Well acted, intelligently written, modest in its approach and surprisingly engrossing.
