Having long been out of work, Armin finally lands a job interview. On his way, he runs into a car accident, and by the time he finally makes it, the interviews are already over. Before he has a chance to tell his pregnant wife of another failed attempt, a job offer arrives through his brother-in-law to work in a slaughterhouse. Unable to kill an animal, Armin lands the position of a security guard and soon finds that workers there are stealing. Conscientious as he is, he reports the theft to the owner.

Director’s statement:
On the one hand, I think the tragedy about Armin’s character is that his moral posture is so genuine, heart-breaking. On the other hand, this is precisely what keeps preventing him from accomplishing his goal.
