Synopsis and idea of story:

Roma family goes from the periphery to the city dump collecting goods. They found almost new garment, suit and a tie. They put clothes on their eldest son Safet and go to the most modern factory for recycling. It's Safet's first working day. The idea of this story is to show changes through recycling cycle which engages the modern Roma minority in a European city. They collect clothes which were already supposed to end at the factory for recycling, to prepare a son for a job in the same factory.
