An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker

Genre
Drama

Nazif lives with his wife Senada and their two young daughters in extremely humble circumstances. As an iron picker, he take cars apart and sells the pieces, just about making ends meet. In a snowy central Bosnian Roma village where they live in a small house, they stick to each another despite the hard life they lead. But a cold wind blows against the couple outside. When Senada miscarries, the state hospital refuses lifesaving treatment because they have no insurance. The doctor comments harshly: «No money, no operation». The necessary 980 marks – about CHF 600 – is a horrendous sum for them. Over the next few days, Nazif desperately tries to find a way to get the money, while Senada’s condition worsens.
