Truck Life

They drive weeks and months through Western Europe - without a real bed or a shower.

Eastern European truck drivers are sent through the countries at low wages by subcontractors. In most cases, all legal regulations are ignored, the simplest fundamental rights are undermined. The EU has been trying for a long time to control unchecked exploitation, but the laws are not working. We accompany the Romanian driver Kristinel on his tour through Belgium, France and the Netherlands. How does life really feel when you're on the road?
