一位孟加拉移民的單親父親,為了女兒每天奔波, 不敢放棄任何一個工作機會,然而辛苦的工作卻只 能換來時薪 4 鎊的報酬;一位清道夫將自己辛苦的 工作視為對社區的回饋,並在工作之餘,努力尋求 精神上的滿足與生命答案;一位基金組織的高階主 管,除了要克服金融危機,更面臨家庭親情的挑戰, 因他鎮日將目光鎖在市場波動的屏幕上,近乎成癮 的行為使他失去了妻兒。導演花了超過兩年的時 間,捕捉金融危機前後,城市人們的生活寫照。
A Bangladeshi man dashes through the streets burdened by the cross-shaped advertising signboard he is carrying on his back; a trader loses his family as a result of his addiction to the financial markets; a chain smoking insurance man tries desperately to escape the city's daily grind; an aggressive metals trader lives for killing animals at the weekend; a street sweeper on a spiritual quest seeks a life in the wilderness. Marc ISAACS's latest feature length film shot during the current financial crisis explores the human cost of life in the dog eat dog world of London's Square Mile.
