Entrepreneurs get a bad name nowadays. Some of them deserve it. But there are exceptions to the rule. People who love their job and try to make the best with what they have. Combining extraordinary vision and skill with a warm and sympathetic human touch, the director tells the stories of ordinary people. A small family lives in the countryside, going from village to village, selling meat out of a small truck and running a tiny funfair on the side. Life is not easy for them, but customers are loyal, and they somehow manage to survive of their work. While one family is struggling, two women who have created a vegetable protein called Pulled Oat are on their way to becoming millionaires. The film juxtaposes two different ways of living and surviving in the broader context of the post-modern neo-liberal capitalistic society.
