For a young person to take the logical next step and quantify that presumed value is not such a big leap. The value goes from intangible to real when the friend suggested that some women can buy fifteen houses with what they get. It seems like the idea to auction and see the bids roll in was exploratory at first but in an unbounded environment where the mother is emotionally distant, arm's length in her parenting style, the course of events follow unimpeded. The kid has to find out where the boundaries and limits are. What her mother will tolerate in the name of her being an adult and when and where she may intervene to put a stop to the madness.
Not a great movie but definitely an intriguing premise for one. A cautionary tale for parents trying to strike the balance between respect for adulthood and independence and still performing the role of a parent. This is an even harder job at times that just managing the tantrums of a toddler.
