| Summary: | A film documenting the phenomenon of East European labor migration and its pitfalls. Piotr and Marek are two young Poles without work or qualifications who are convinced that leaving for England is the only way they can get rich. They are modest: opening a small bar at Victoria bus station will do for a start. Plans for a classy restaurant in London and a factory producing pharmaceutical packaging in Poland can wait until their first business is a success. However, after arriving in London, it becomes clear that they have been conned by a labor agent and opportunities for decent work without English are as rare as friends willing to take them in. |
