In their lives away from their families, seasonal workers from the south of Yugoslavia working in Slovenia resort to alcohol and brawls, football and escapism in order to keep their minds off their homesickness, their problems in relationships with Slovene girls and the derisive attitude of some of the real Slovenes they work with. Is nationality really the decisive factor which determines who is your brother and who your enemy? And are there not things more painful even than the cutting edge of a knife or the silence amongst the walls of looming skyscrapers?
