Citizens

 

Yasin and Marko are citizens of Helsinki. Plan A for both of them is to earn a living and live a decent life. Now, Marko needs to buy a car and Yasin wants to sell one. This simple act of selling a car turns into something unpleasant - and both men are forced to go on living according to Plan B.
