WORKERS’ WINGS

SYNOPSIS

Men who, after a work injury, look at us:
How do they feel? What are their hopes? What does the future hold for them? Every line on their faces sculpted by life itself. In contrast, a system filled with danger and injustice looms overhead.

 Jury Statement Rotterdam International Film Festival:

“A testimony to the labour of working class people,
made with an empathetic and gentle tone,
this film portrays tragic events in the lives of individuals whose scars
and dignity are beautifully amplified by an honest and humble cinematic style.
The film’s formal elegance and restraint are impressively infused with subtle
and captivating aesthetic qualities – chromatic, rhythmic and haptic.”
