“Croatia, 2005. A machine tools plant is taken over by its workers. The only successful example of a factory occupation in post-socialist Europe. Ten years later, the rebellious employees behind the occupation strive to prevent a production shutdown. Sustainability depends on the sacrifices of the workers protecting their livelihood from the threats of a ruthless economy. For 5 years, director Srdan Kovacevic follows the inside story of the people who struggle to keep the once prestigious factory running. A decade later, can the slogan “Factory to the Workers” be kept alive, or is it just a dream?”

“A portrait of European boundaries. While food and goods are able to travel across all frontiers, there are severe restrictions for human beings. Pepsi plays the role of a 21st century transgender version of Joan d’Arc, standing for human rights and requesting asylum for the most marginalized communities. She finds the strength to tell her intimate story, which recalls the ancient myth of Europa.”
