Mondays in the Sun
In a coastal city to the north of Spain, bursting at the seams thanks to industrial development, a group of men roam its steep and winding streets day in and day out, looking for their emergency exits. They tightrope-walk their way to the end of the month, with no safety net and no audience, no clapping after the finale; they live their lives on a thin line of unstable employment, surviving because of their small joys and routines.
