“Men
at work” depicts the daily routine of 35 men working for one of the
last remaining governmental institutions in Austria that only employ
men. Their responsibility is to look after a 40km stretch of one of
Europe's biggest transit routes, the A1. Inspired by the poem of one of
the road workers, the film is a sensitive journey to the world of pure
masculinity, camaraderie and team spirit.
