Plot summary
Angela works as a production assistant for a multinational company with headquarters in Austria. She is overworked and underpaid, and the company has commissioned a video promoting safety at work. Her task is to find an injured worker to appear in it, so she drives around Bucharest with caffeine keeping her going, interviewing people hurt on the job. In between she records rants for Instagram as Bobiță, her male influencer alter ego. She also has to settle where her grandparents' remains will be moved, since a clerical mistake put their grave on land earmarked for new housing. One of the people she visits is a retired taxi driver who shares her name.
