How a sovereign nation of 39,000 people functions on foot
In short: Monaco is often reduced to images of superyachts and casinos, but this documentary explores the logistical reality of the world's second-smallest independent nation. It examines how such a compact territory maintains sovereignty and manages its complex urban infrastructure.
Covering just under two square kilometers on the Mediterranean coast, Monaco is an urban enclave where the entire territory can be traversed in less than an afternoon. The film moves from the waterfront of La Condamine up to the historic heights of Le Rocher to reveal a society governed by unique legal and economic structures.
Daily activities within the principality rely upon a vast number of workers travelling from Italy and France across the border. It also explores the strict residency rules and public order requirements that have helped Monaco maintain its independence for over seven centuries.
