O filme conta a história de Ansa, uma repositora de prateleiras num supermercado com um contrato de zero horas, mais tarde tornando-se uma classificadora de plástico reciclável, e Holappa, um jateador de areia, inicialmente alcoólico e posteriormente um ex-alcoólico. Os seus caminhos cruzam-se acidentalmente e, apesar das adversidades e mal-entendidos, tentam construir algum tipo de relação no lado mais difícil do estado social.
Starting in the 18th century, transformations in commerce led to the emergence of the early factory system and the birth of the British working class. Displaced from the countryside, these new workers flooded into textile mills that would fuel the growth of British capitalism. Combining archival footage, interviews with historians and testimonies from modern factory workers, A HISTORY OF THE EUROPEAN WORKING CLASS outlines the development of new forms of discipline and time management that would transform the lives of workers and their nascent political consciousness. The Luddite movement, Peterloo Massacre, and demands for universal suffrage are discussed as early high watermarks in the development of working class politics, foreshadowing the uprisings of the 19th and 20th centuries.
