Yugotransport - We Are All on the Same Bus

Thirty years after the Yugoslavian war and the fall of communism, workers from the ex-YU countries find themselves again in the same "bus". But this time not over communist utopian ideals, but under capitalist reality. They are all seasonal workers on a road towards a better future and prosperity, their new Promised Land - Germany. And just when it seems that all the hope on this journey is gone, the Saviour appears to help them all.
