Struggle

Ewa, a young Polish woman, works from one job to the next - picking strawberries, working in a poultry slaughterhouse, scrubbing the swimming pools of the rich. Her existence is driven by the hope of finding better prospects for her and her little daughter. A recently divorced Viennese real estate agent begins haunting swingers' bars, hoping to fill the emptiness that reverberates through his new life. He does not have Ewa's financial anxiety, but he struggles for basic human contact. Both Ewa and Marold are physically vulnerable. When they meet, their desperation carries them to even greater extremes.
