Pure documentary in one take. No cutting, editing and other nice features of contemporary documentary film. This is a story about people of a specific time and place. What is actually happening on this spring day that seems like nothing new is going on? On May 1st, International Labour Day, we are remembering the historical fight of the working class all over the world and the tendency to a more human and fair attitude to workers. The main element of contemporary feasts is of digesting nature – the only important thing is, who gets more free food and who gives it out.
