Their Daily Bread

Film observes the daily aspect of our daily bread from the point of view of the product itself. The continuum of pictures opens anthropological and cultural views on the status the bread has in the Finnish Euro-culture that dreads wrong types of carbohydrates.

The film takes a tour in the corridors of hospital filled with long-term patients; simultaneously constructing a workmanlike anthropological vision on how the personnel earn their daily bread under a heavy workload.
