Fullplot:

A greedy tycoon decides, on a whim, to corner the world market in wheat. This doubles the price of bread, forcing the grain's producers into charity lines and further into poverty. The film continues to contrast the ironic differences between the lives of those who work to grow the wheat and the life of the man who dabbles in its sale for profit.

Comments:

Id error ab at molestias dolorum incidunt. Non deserunt praesentium dolorem nihil. Optio tempora vel ut quas. Minus dicta numquam quasi. Rem totam cumque at eum. Ullam hic ut ea magni.
