Short film commissioned by The School of Life.
The Children of Snobs
It can be deeply painful to be the child of snobs. That is, to be someone who received a kind of love in our formative years that was heavily dependent on our performance, not on our essence. It can be enough to make a mess of our lives, unless we realise - and get on top of - the dynamics.
Written and narrated by Alain de Boton.
