Gredelj is a 120-year-old rolling stock company whose management claims it has run into financial problems. But the unions discover that the bankruptcy is just a political game with the aim of destroying the Croatian nationalised company. The real victims are ordinary workers, especially those who only have a few years left until retirement. Željko, still deeply affected by the death of his close friend, leads the workers into further strikes and negotiations with politicians and the factory management. The documentary portrays the wider problems of Eastern Europe, which has jumped from the socialist era into the wild waters of capitalism and constantly faces the storms of corruption scandals and power struggles.
