This documentary, Ulrich Seidl's full-length film debut, examines the lives of the street newspaper sellers in Vienna, a mixture of men from Turkey, India, Pakistan, Egypt, and Eastern Europe--standing out in all weathers, peddling the trivial Viennese tabloids. Their lives on the street are explored: their cramped living quarters, their minders, the 'training' days, and the inhuman process that keeps them working endless hour for little reward.
