SYNOPSIS

The mildew-ridden basement room,
resting his swollen feet under the beating sun,
the city's few lit lights,
eating a can of tuna as his breakfast,
changing the pre-registered rhythm of life waking during the eve and sleeping through the day,
counting money, greeting customers, selling goods, organizing shelves, cleaning,
The story of a hard-working part time worker...
the security camera, the flourescent lights, air conditioner, handling money, products, bar codes in the world of the consumers.
the road home after getting off in the morning,
this is sunshine which he cannot take pleasure in.

DIRECTING INTENTION

A struggling worker - student, to survive while working a terrible part time job.
This is a report of his nineteenth job site.
The smell of money on his hands, the sound of machines in his ears,
flourescent lights blinding his eyes, reciepts coming out of his mouth.
Can he see the light at the end of the tunnel in the midst of the desparate flow of capital.
