Romania 1992, the economy is in tatters. A factory in a small town is being sold to the French so that it can be turned into a snail cannery for the remaining 300 workers. George, the trade union leader and womanizer, has an outlandish plan to rescue the factory which does not, however, please the workers’ wives.
