The film reveals the vampirism of capital according to Karl Marx, showing the life of immigrant workers in the Netherlands. Filmed with dreamlike calm, it shows their wait in forgotten places, living in precarious conditions where the company deducts rent from their salary, while the camera gives them a voice.
