Hatch
Young homeless man Luke is not going to obey the laws established by his homeless colleagues, as well as the arbitrariness of the foreman when he finds himself in forced labor. But only resistance to his own kind does not give Luke anything: without housing and means of subsistence, and, finally, without basic rights to protect the individual, he no longer sees any light in this life.
