Synopsis
This episodic documentary film builds a portrait of European workers. In our film, we travel and follow the journey of a canned food product and its ingredients across Europe. Along the journey the ordinary workers all over the continent tell their dreams and stories about the most important moments in their lives. The film features seven ingredients, seven main characters and seven strong stories from different countries. The characters' ages and backgrounds vary and their stories will touch diverse spheres of life at the same time being universal and reaching out to people anywhere in the world. Behind this one product there are numerous hands and the can itself is metaphor for multicultural Europe.
