Unemployment in socialist Yugoslavia? A short exploration into the lives of dispossessed workers who sit in their dormitory waiting for their next job opportunity. Idleness, alcohol and health problems under a regime that pretends that poverty and social pathological phenomena are relics of the past. Suggestive scenes filmed with a hand-held camera accompanied by the counterpoint of the main protagonist's ironic commentary. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
