Marta has just graduated with flying colours with a degree
in philosophy. After failing to find work in her chosen industries, she resorts
to working in a call centre as a tele-marketer. The environment she works in is
filled with motivational speeches, team-bonding exercises, and weekly rankings
among the workers. The film recounts the unexpected turn her life has taken and
the situation for many young graduates in Italy who are employed ‘precariously’
on temporary contracts with few benefits or safeguards.
The film features many scenes in the call-centre as well as
some brief moments in interviews during Marta’s job search. The role of trade
unions is also touched upon.
