Work is becoming more service oriented and more and more services rely upon us doing harm to each other. In most people's lives, work operates as a degrading and debilitating force. It disables people's critical and perception capacities.

Built in seven parts which correspond to each day of the week, this film studies the relationship between work being done and the nature of the people that are doing it.
