Anders is a single father whose career as a writer suddenly comes to an end in a kind of midlife crisis. He soon finds work as a day labourer in the Port of Malmö through a temp agency called “Dream Job”, but life at home and at work becomes increasingly unbearable. With an eye for the absurdities of life in the precariat, the film explores a world where dehumanisation and informing on colleagues become natural consequences of replaceability and micromanagement. This timeless drama is heightened by a soundtrack that blends ambient sounds with opera.
