Mondays in the Sun

This film is not based on a real story. It is based on thousands.

A compassionate ensemble portrait of working-class men grappling with unemployment and lost identity, held together by friendship and the rituals that sustain them.

After the closure of their shipyard in Northern Spain, a few former workers: Santa, José, Lino, Amador, Sergei and Reina keep in touch. They meet mainly at a bar owned by their former colleague Rico. Santa is the most superficially confident and unofficial leader of the group. A court case hangs over him relating to a shipyard lamp he smashed during a protest against the closure. José is bitter that his wife, Ana, is employed when he is not.
