A darkly comic satire that uses absurdist workplace bureaucracy and human suffering to skewer corporate exploitation and late-stage capitalism.

On behalf of a multinational company, a production assistant drives around the Romanian city of Bucharest, interviewing various citizens who have been injured due to work accidents to cast one of them in a “safety at work” video.
