Day labourers in Berlin-Neukölln, migrant workers from Eastern Europe, refugees in South Africa, asylum seekers in Eisenhüttenstadt and Canadians with strange leisure behaviour

are the subjects of these five documentaries from Germany, Canada, Poland and South Africa. They all share their protagonists’ search for an existence worth living.
