Romania 1989, after the fall of the communist regime many families lost their houses. In the meantime almost nothing improved. Many people of Bucharest living at the periphery manage to survive by selling recycled metals. Cocalari presents a strange world of half-way measures, a half life where there is shelter, but no warmth; possession but no plenty; a neighbourhood in Bucharest where none should have ended up.
